About the game

What you do in a play session

Pandora's Box has been cracked open, and guess what? The most feared monsters from Greek mythology have escaped! In Horrified: Greek Monsters, you and your friends step into the sandals of Greek gods (or at least, their avatars) on a cooperative mission to recapture these beasts before chaos reigns supreme. This standalone game captures the same spirit as the original Horrified but with a distinctly Hellenic twist.

To save the day, you'll first need to uncover the lairs of each monster. Medusa, Cerberus, the Chimera, and the Minotaur have their secret hideouts scattered across the board, like the Statue Garden or the Door to the Underworld. But beware: discovering these lairs isn't free! Each clue found will require you to sacrifice three colored items – a small price to pay to avoid becoming monster chow, right?

Featuring six different monsters, each with their own unique tricks and abilities, the challenge ramps up as more creatures are added to the game. The key to victory lies in cleverly using your gods' special powers and figuring out the right strategy to defeat each adversary. It's a challenge that demands coordination and a solid attack plan. Prepare for an epic adventure where cooperation is your most powerful weapon against ancient terror!
