“Each player takes the role of a ‘Desperate Housewife.’ Players compete to get the best Husbands, Houses, Jobs, Kids, etc. Victory: The Player with the Highest Total Card Score at the end of the game wins. Add up the score for each card you have in play. Game End: The Game ends when the player who draws the last card in the deck ends his turn.”

The custom deck includes over eighty cards, including cards representing housewives, houses, men, children, events and ‘modifier’ cards which either improve or degrade other cards.
