Midnight Toybox

After the Child Falls Asleep The lights go out. The house goes still. Then the floorboards begin to creak. The toys are getting up. You're the New One Tonight is your first night in this room. Nobody welcomes you. They close into a circle and push you toward the board. You are made to sit. Something is fastened around your neck. A small, tidy click. You will not be getting up. Lose, and You Break Every piece on their side of the board looks exactly the same. Mixed in among them are the ones you must not take. You find out which is which only after you have taken one. Get it wrong, and it isn't your opponent who pays for it. It's you. Outread, Outbluff, Survive There is no way out of this room that does not run across the board. Only those who read it right see morning.
