even if she hadn't picked Hide and Seek

Think about it afterward. It's only logical to assume Alex had to explain "By marrying into my family you unknowingly sold your soul to the devil" and that's not cool either

Good point! Seems pretty unfair if a person's sould can be sold to Satan without them realizing.
Maybe there's an afterlife civil court system where such transactions can be disputed!

Funnily enough, there actually is a segment like this in the Bible discussing where various beings from other realms/principalities hold court in front of God relating to how they should intervene/interfere with a situation on Earth. So maybe you aren't too far off about an afterlife civil court system.

Ha!

With my luck I would've Monopoly, which would've gone just as badly as the movie

Maybe the fact that Alex didn't explain that is why she drew the card that she did. Knowing the truth and still marrying into the family might be the cost of admission.

[–] ADBruno1985 (3487) 3 years ago

Cool idea, but I doubt it. Because that means not telling basically ensures that card will be drawn. So why would you bother marrying someone and not telling them if you knew it guaranteed that outcome?

[–] Abed303 (282) 3 years ago

I would assume the family wouldn't know that. It would be Le Bail's way of guaranteeing the family stays evil. Family members who married but refused to play the game died. By agreeing to marring into the family you'd be selling your soul to the devil.

We can very much assume that the devil can manage to guarantee that happening. So either you marry out of pure love and don't tell => pay the price or you tell and you get a morally bad person, someone the devil likes to support.

For sure. But it's also made clear in the scene where Daniel says to Charity "When I told you, you couldn't wait to sell your soul to the devil"
