About the game
Hey board game enthusiasts! Ever imagined a town so unlucky it's plagued not by one or two, but by SEVEN classic movie monsters? Well, that's the premise of Horrified! In this super cool cooperative game, you and your friends become fearless heroes with the mission to rid the town of these creatures – whether they're evil or just misunderstood – before it's too late. Victory depends on you defeating all the monsters, but defeat comes if the terror track reaches its limit or if the monster deck runs out.

Each turn is divided into two phases: first, the hero phase, where you use your action points to move, pick up items, help villagers, and, of course, confront the monsters. Then comes the monster phase, where they act, and event cards dictate which one will cause the most havoc. The game comes with high-quality sculpted miniatures of iconic monsters like Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Dracula, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The coolest part is that each monster has its own rules and weaknesses, requiring different strategies to be defeated. This ensures that every game is a new and exciting challenge, with adjustable difficulty levels. It's an easy-to-learn game, but with enough depth to keep everyone engaged!
