Horrified

Horrified is a cooperative game in which you must stop a monster (or monsters) from wreaking havoc across the land. In my opinion, it is one of the best entry level board games. Setup is easy. Gameplay is fun & simple to learn. Turns are quick with good amounts of table talk. Games are relatively short with
enough randomness to keep every playthrough fresh. There are currently four different versions of the game available, each with a different setting and monsters.

Universal Monsters – Picture a quaint countryside village of a Universal monster movie. Here players, fight against classic monsters: Dracula, The Wolfman, The Creature from the

Black Lagoon, Frankenstein & The Bride of Frankenstein,

The Mummy, & The Invisible Man.

American Monsters – A retro Americana town is under attack! As investigators, players must face quintessential American cyptids: Bigfoot, Mothman, Jersey Devil, Chupacabra,

Banshee of the Badlands, and the Ozark Howler.

Greek Monsters – Set in ancient Greece, play as avatars of Greek gods, try to capture escaped mythological beasts:

Medusa, Cerberus, Chimera, Basilisk, Siren, and the Minotaur.

World of Monsters – Unimaginable horrors have broken through a doorway between worlds and as secret guardians of Earth, players will take on: Jiangshi, Yeti, Sphinx, & Cthulhu.

Each monster in each game provides a unique challenge for how to defeat them. Some monsters are harder than others, and players can fight against several monsters at once to customize the challenge for their play group. Each version of the game is standalone with a good amount of replayability in the box. The most recent games (Greek Monsters & World of Monsters) are compatible with each other, adding even more variety to the game if you buy them both. That being said, each game’s settings, characters, components, & monsters are unique enough, to where I can recommend any of them.

Horrified is simply put, one of my favorite games to sit down and play.
