About the game
What you do in a play session
The game is cooperative, so gather your friends to strategize together. Each player takes on the role of a hero with unique abilities – like actual superpowers! – and you'll need to figure out how to defeat each creature. And heads up, the more monsters you include in the game, the tougher the challenge becomes. It's a game that uses action points for you to move around the board and interact with locations, picking up items and delivering them where needed to save the day (or at least try to!).
The mechanics are accessible, with dice rolling to add that spice of luck and point-to-point movement guiding you across the map. The variable setup ensures each game is different, and there's even a solo mode for those who enjoy facing the horror alone. It's a great pick for anyone who likes cooperative games with a light horror theme and guaranteed replayability.
