Was watching Jason lives, and they mentioned a Jason card game. I looked and looked but could not find any so made one instead. Played with friends and we had a blast. Sharing for Halloween time and the next Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13th Card Game
Game can accommodate for up to 6 players

Setup:
- take out all face cards, but leave jokers in
- shuffle cards
- make 6 piles of 7 cards (each pile is a cabin)
- each player takes 2 or more face cards to represent counselors

Rules:

- Aces and 2's kill your counselor. if both counselors are dead you are out.
- Find Jason & Mrs. Voorhees before you are killed.
-If you draw the 1st joker that is Mrs. Vorhees and you can revive one of your counselors.
-If both of your counselors are still alive you must revive another player
-whoever is the last person alive or whoever finds the second joker killed Jason and is the winner.

Search the cabins, Find Mother head before Jason kills you. Then find and kill Jason To win the Game.

Basically , everyone's turn they pick a card from any one of the 6 piles to see if they are safe, counselor dead, found mother's head or found and killed Jason.

Not sure if any interest but made a digital version also.

Transcript
00:00Hello again and Happy Halloween! Today I'm going to show you how to play Friday the 13th a card game.
00:06Obviously you need a standard deck of cards. And the first rule is to actually remove all of the face
00:13cards.
00:14So the kings, the queens, and the jacks. But we do want to leave in the two joker cards.
00:20After separating all the face cards, make sure you shuffle the deck really well.
00:24After the deck is shuffled, make six piles of seven cards. There shouldn't be any cards left.
00:31Each pile of cards represents one cabin. So you have six piles. Each pile represents a cabin.
00:37And each player gets two face cards. Those face cards represent counselors.
00:43Now if you draw a two or an ace, that kills one of your counselors. If both of your counselors
00:50are dead, you are out.
00:52Now the object of the game is to find the two joker cards. The first joker card you get is
00:59Mrs. Voorhees' head.
01:02Which needs to be found in the game before you can kill Jason.
01:06Now if you draw the first joker card, you can resurrect one of your counselors.
01:11If both of your counselors are still alive, you have to resurrect the other player.
01:16If all counselors are alive and when you find the first joker card, the Mrs. Voorhees' head, continue playing.
01:23If all other players' counselors are dead and you still have some remaining, you immediately win the game without finding
01:29Jason.
01:30Once you find the second joker card, that is Jason. And if you find Jason, you have killed him and
01:36you automatically win the game.
01:38Now the cool thing about this is if you want every player to have at least two face cards, it
01:44can accommodate up to six players.
01:46But yeah, it's a very simple search and kill game, which is great for parties and great for Halloween.
01:55Or great if you play it on Friday the 13th because it leaves a lot of room for flexibility while
02:01still being fair and easy to play.
02:03I'll obviously post all the standard rules down below in the description.
02:07If you have any questions, please let me know.
02:09I also made a digital version that you can play in a web browser if you want to mess around
02:14with it.
02:15Until next time, have a great one.
