The Midnight Pals not actually playable boardgame!

Have you ever wanted to be a Midnight Pal of your own? Now you can... and so can you! Play as Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Dean Koontz, HP Lovecraft, Clive Barker, or Mary Shelley and guide your Midnight Pal through a gauntlet of stupid and confusing challenges to reach the story-telling campfire of the Midnight Society before any of your competitors! The most confusing and convoluted board game concept ever designed outside of East Germany!

NOTE: This is a a joke and NOT an actual playable board game.
