Slay the Competition!

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Drop Dead Gorgeous is a high-drama, high-stakes party strategy game for 6–10 players set in the cut-throat world of high fashion — where ambition kills, literally. Are you prepared to slay the competition?

Game Summary

Each player takes on the role of a model competing for fame, fortune, and exclusive fashion contracts. But one player is secretly a killer, eliminating a rival each round while trying to avoid suspicion.

The rest must race to collect the most contracts before they become the next victim — or catch the killer in time.

Gameplay unfolds in a cycle of bidding, bluffing, sabotage, and social deduction.

Drop Dead Gorgeous game components laid out

How the Game Unfolds

Contract PhasePlayers bid on positions along the catwalk (which also serves as the turn order track) to gain priority in claiming valuable contract cards.

Influence PhasePlayers receive and manage "Pouty Faced" cards (special abilities) and can play agent cards to manipulate bidding, block rivals, or gain advantages.

Murder PhaseThe secret killer selects their target through hidden cards. If the targeted player cannot defend themselves, they are eliminated.

Accusation PhasePlayers use social cues and deduction to vote for the suspect. If the group correctly identifies the killer, that player is removed — but keeps their contracts. If they're wrong, the accused gains rewards for being defamed.

Ghost Voting & Clean-upEliminated players remain involved through a shared ghost vote and strategic cleanup for the next round.

Winning the Game

The game ends when only 3 players remain. If the killer is not correctly identified, a final Catwalk Strut Face-Off — where the last two survivors literally perform a walk-off — will be required to win the final contract!

The player with the highest total value of contract cards and money at the end of the game wins. Victory requires a mix of deduction, resource management, social manipulation, and impeccable timing.
