Grave Robbers from Outer Space (GROS) is a card game designed by Stephen Tassie and published by Z-Man Games. GROS parodies movies and movie clichés, especially those from science fiction and horror movies. It is played with a specially designed 120 card deck. The idea of the game is to create a movie (made up of a location and characters, and to characters holding props). Each of these cards has a "defense strength" (DS) between +10 and −15. The sum of the values on a player's cards is the defense of their movie. The goal is to have the strongest movie (i.e. the one with the highest defense) when either there are no cards left to draw, or one of two cards with the words "Roll The Credits" is played. The Cards Each card contains the following information: A name ("The Babysitter", "Wrong Side of the Gorge") A picture (Special Effect cards do not have pictures on them) A quote ("Why should I believe your story, kid ... say, is that a tentacle?") Traits (Not all cards have traits) Special rules for the card A title word or words ("In 3D", "Sinister") Each card is in one of five colors: Green - locations ("The Mall", "Tokyo Skyline") Blue - characters ("The Military Officer", "Skippy the Wonder Dog") Orange - props ("The Flashlight", "The Hat") Red - creatures ("Lava Men", "The Gym Teacher") Yellow - special effects The two "Roll The Credits" cards are all black with the words in large red letters in the center. Rules At the beginning of the game, six cards are drawn at random from the deck. From the title words, which appear at the bottom of the card, a title for the game is created. At the end of the game, each player receives five bonus points for each word that appears both in their movie and in the game title. Many players choose not to play with this rule, and skip this phase. Each player is dealt a hand of six cards. If a player has no characters in their initial hand, they return their hand to the draw pile and draw a fresh hand, continuing to do so until they have at least one character in their hand. Once all players have put out their characters, play begins. Any time a card is played, its quote is read, otherwise it is not in
