The Basilisk's Stare Card Game

This card game challenges players to conquer the dreaded Basilisk, a giant serpent that turns people to stone with its evil stare.

What You Need
  • Deck of cards
Instructions
  1. Children sit in a circle and pick from a deck of cards. Whoever chooses the Ace of Spades is the Basilisk (but keeps this information secret).

  2. During play, the children quietly stare into each others eyes. The Basilisk blinks both eyes at its victims, who must silently count to 10 and then turn to stone (a favorite part of the game, usually accompanied by an agonizing scream and collapse on the floor!).

  3. The Basilisk continues to turn children into stone until a surviving child figures out who it is (that wizard earns points for their team).
