The board game graphics and cards capture the essence of the 1940s era monster movie posters. The extra touch was the meticulous hand painted miniatures my friend did. It was nostalgic and drew me right into the game.
The co-op aspect makes it more fun as your able to help each other gain items and ultimately attempt to slay these classic creatures of the night.
Deceptively difficult. The game mechanics are a cinch
- move/acquire/etc based on your character's ability
- when completed flip a monster card to invoke a possible attack
- roll the dice to determine any possible damage
I found the extra tasks very fascinating. Villagers begin to wonder the town and you must escort them to their destination. Succeed and receive a bonus skill card. Fail and... well I won't describe the grizzly horrors that are inflicted if you do.
This game is rated 10+. It's very cute and a really nice change from some of the darker board games I've played like Dead of Winter. I liked this game so much I hope to have an opportunity for my kids to play it. 5 Stars!
I made this teaser trailer for the game.
