10,000 windows, 2,000 doors, and 40 staircases. Truly, the Winchester Mystery House is a marvel of Victorian architecture, and now you too can contribute to Sarah’s evolving Floor Plan!

It is said that Sarah Winchester perpetually added to the house to confuse the ghosts, and now 100 years later, you can continue her legacy. In Floor Plan Winchester Mystery House, you will be challenged to build on 2 different stories and fulfill 6 different building requirements per game in this Roll-N-Write for 1-6 players!

Floor Plan: The Winchester Mystery House is based on the hit game Floor Plan from Deep Water Games and is an officially licensed product.

Gameplay description:
Once per turn, players roll two dice in the center of the table and all players use the roll to either draw a new room into their house or draw features in rooms they’ve already drawn.

Every game of Floor Plan: The Winchester Mystery House uses 3 of the 15 scoring cards - all based on real design and architectural elements of the house.

If your design matches a scoring goal, you add the listed points on your sheet. The game ends when a player has completed 5 goals, then the player with the most points wins. Earn extra points at the end of the game from Spirit bonuses and the upper and lower floor layout goals.

I, Dr. Schism, being of sinister mind and not-bad body, leave one bequest to my underlings. The gift of petty conflict!

In Bequest, players will strategically split Dr. Schism’s fortune with their villainous neighbors! Each player draws five Asset cards, and splits them into two piles for the player on your right, who will choose one to keep, leaving you the other, while you do the same with the piles split by the player on your left. Once everyone has chosen, you’ll collect your spoils, and soon another round will begin, this time going in the other direction!

With a variety of different Asset types to collect, you’ll be keeping a close eye on your neighbors to figure out what they’re looking for, and how badly they need it. You’ll collect matching gadgets for exponentially increasing $ values, Hideouts for set $ values, and try to avoid ending up with Evidence, which count as -$3 each once you have three or more. Global Influence earns you $10 or $20 provided you have more than your neighbors, and Schemes provide unique scoring conditions based on the rest of your collection.

One Asset type is Keys to Dr. Schism’s vault, each with a spot in the drafting order for Special Asset cards, which include the Schemes, and powerful versions of the other card types. Will you pick the smaller pile with a Key, and a chance to claim Dr. Schism’s $5 Space Station hideout? Or play it safe with a Bunker and two power cores?

Bequest packs a ton of strategy into what looks like simple decisions. Will you be clever enough to walk away with the lion’s share of Dr. Schism’s estate, and become the next great supervillain?

In Floor Plan players take on the role of an Architect designing a house for a client. Each round, a pair of dice are rolled and then players will act simultaneously, using the dice to either draw a new room onto their floor plan or add crucial architectural and landscaping features.

The game ends when any player has completed two tasks for the client. The player with the most points is the winner – the client likes their design best and they earn that lucrative commission!
