	Description Edit \| History

This game is from an odd genre, real-time card games. Each of the players (except the dealer) is a person falling to his death. The goal is not to live, rather just to be the last one to go splat. The dealer continues dealing cards to players, eventually giving them 'ground' cards. But on the way down players can do all kinds of nasty stuff to each other to ensure their relative longevity.

Falling - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy edition

Falling re-theme. Sperm Whale and a Bowl of Petunias. This is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy edition of Falling. I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest this, but I'm the first to make it a reality and post it here. I hope you like it!
