SLAY The Book

NOTE: This is a simplified version of SLAY created to be easily played on Twitter! In the book’s version of SLAY, in-game characters take on the powers specified on the cards. This means that cards that do not carry points in this version can have massive benefits in the in-book game. To learn more, read SLAY by Brittney Morris!, and explore the cards here!
