Description: SCP-4356 is a standard size pack of slightly damaged playing cards. Recovered from [REDACTED] Vancouver, SCP-4356 was found under a loose floorboard in the basement of a Mr. [REDACTED] G. Callaghan.
The playing cards, after being within approx. 1m within range of a sentient being, the being is then locked into 5 standard games of cards with the next nearest entity. As discovered by Dr. ██████ if there are no entities in the immediate proximity of SCP-4356, a seemingly genderless, featureless being appears, taking on the role of the other player. Each game of cards played with SCP-4356, results in 2 outcomes. If the challenged entity were to win all 5 games. They would earn freedom, and the ability to walk free from SCP-4356. If the entity were to lose a game, they would lose one of their 5 vital organs (Brain, Heart, Kidneys, Liver and lungs, but not in any particular order). After losing a game, the entity locked into the card game, would continue to play, despite missing vital organs.
Upon the autopsy of D-3457 (the one who played), he appears have lost his lungs and lungs, but no incisions or scars remained.
