About the game

What you do in a play session

Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons – Ravenloft plunges you into the dark heart of Barovia, where four terrifying creatures — the murderous Carrionette, the bloodthirsty Gulthias Tree, the witch Baba Lysaga, and the Dark Lord Strahd himself — threaten to destroy everything. Each player takes on the role of a hero with unique abilities based on iconic D&D classes, working together to protect villagers, gather crucial items, and unravel how to defeat each monster. The game alternates between hero phases, where you plan moves and strategies, and monster phases, where chaos reigns. With variable mechanics and unique puzzles for each creature, every match is a fresh adventure full of tension and critical decisions. Get ready to scream, laugh, and cheer — sometimes all at once!
