“…a brilliant little game that uses candy as a mechanic! I love the look and feel of this one…” – Games on Board

“This was a fun game….I would recommend it to anyone.” – William Nabors, playtester

You've always been the best of friends. You've done practically everything together. But this past summer, you all went to different camps and started getting interested in different things. And when you went back to school, things were different between you.

But you always loved Halloween, and you all knew you'd go trick-or-treating together. So on Halloween night, you all met on the street corner...but one of you wasn't there. You all raced to this friend's house...and it's been replaced by a spooky mansion. It's like your friend never existed.

You will now face monsters and villains as you race to get your friend back.

Tricks and Treats is a simple role-playing story game, designed to be played by kids and adults. It's about a group of trick-or-treaters that face monsters which are themselves based on the kids' fears and personalities. And the primary resolution mechanic uses candy.

You'll get a 9-page PDF of all the rules, as well as mobi, epub, and azw3 files for all eReaders. The PDF includes a simple character sheet with the rules on the other side, making a handy handout.

The System

Each player gets 6 pieces of candy (ranked from 1-6), plus 5 Kid Points. Monsters are drawn from a big bag of candy (or rolled on a d6). Players can spend candy or Kid Points to defeat them.

The kids move through various rooms of a haunted house, fighting off monsters that represent how each kid has caused problems for his or her friends. In the final room, the kids face a villain who's holding an NPC friend hostage. If the kids have hoarded their candy wisely, they can get their friend back!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
