The answer is simply never marry. You can screw around, get pregnant or get a girl pregnant, have kids & not marry anyone. I'm not sure the particulars of the deal with the devil was that you HAD to marry. It was never explained if "new additions" meant husbands/wives or even your betrothed.

If you had to try & successfully kill each new bride or groom, then how would the family ever grow & not be doomed to eventually die out? Unless Satan promised 100% fertility rate on the honeymoon. But on the other hand children are considered "new additions" to the family so did they have to hunt those as well?

Well remember that they only had to play Hide & Seek because she pulled that card, which Mark said "never happens" or something like that. And it was indicated that it had been many years since the family had done this.

If she had picked any other card, they'd have played a different game and all would've been right with the world.

Except for the satanism and all.

He said it had only happened once, which is what we see at the beginning, but he also said people who refused to play the game were killed.

Yeah but she was going to leave him if he didn't propose to her so he had to marry her to keep her. what didn't make sense was Alex actions at the end changing in a second

I don't think marriage is wrong as you say. But then again I'm a Christian and therefore believe nobody should even have sex unless they do get married. If anything the point of the movie to me is that their Great Grandfather shouldn't have made a deal with the Devil back at the time of the Civil War.

OP, Did you even watch the movie? The death game happened only twice among the collective generations in the movie. Twice is NOT ALWAYS.

The opportunity the movie missed was to show that the deck handed to Grace ONLY was stacked with Hide And Seek options, because the family HATED her goodness. That 1 shot would have elevated this film. Still really good, though. Weaving is a revelation.

That's hardly a "missed opportunity." At best, it's a different story; one that has nothing to do with this movie. And it doesn't track with what we're told about the game.

Dunno where you get the family "hated her goodness," either. In fact, the movie makes a point of the opposite: regardless of how they felt about her, they chose to play the game. Both to keep their wealth, and stay alive. Mom liked her, sis was ready to welcome her, auntie despised her, dad was warm, and Daniel had real affection for her.

If you think about it, that makes their actions More reprehensible.

Likely, but not certainly. Satan is about to get hungry at one point, and you want to bend the rules and give him a big FU..... not gonna be pretty. Rather, let us continue to play. Keep him happy, and anyway, the occasional sacrifice won't be of anyone we really know... Gggoooo Le Domas.
