Grim’s Haunted Mansion: Zombies vs. Vampires

All right, the cat’s fed, the ouija board’s questions are nearly exhausted, what next? What next, indeed, in the life of the Grim Reaper? As you check the faded wall calendar and hear a chime from the enormous grandfather clock, it all comes together: it’s time for you to go out to the lawn for that annual “sporting event.” From the sound of it, Grim asked you to play referee.

As for the teams, it’s not clear at first, but on the lawn you can see a pair of goal nets situated on corners of what might be a baseball diamond, with a miniature ice rink inexplicably in the center. Then the scoreboard sparks, fizzles, and displays some information:

1,813,952nd ANNUAL SPOOKBALL TOURNAMENT

ZOMBIES: __

VAMPIRES: __

And suddenly, with a rumble and a flutter, some ghoulish figures seem to erupt from the earth, croaking and shambling, just as a horde of bats descends from the sky and transforms into a group of cloaked, pale humanoids. The participants seem to number into the hundreds! And as they carry a number of different balls, bats, sticks, and rackets, the rules of this game become increasingly inscrutable. You can only tell one thing: it looks dang fun.

Why play referee? Choose a side and join the game yourself!
