Get ready for some spine-chilling fun this Halloween! Amazon is currently running a fantastic sale on a selection of horror movie-themed board games, perfect for your spooky season gatherings.
First up, we have Funko’s Scream The Game. This game is incredibly quick to set up and learn, making it ideal for 3 to 9 players with sessions lasting only about 20 minutes. To truly immerse yourselves, you can even download a free mobile app featuring atmospheric background music and original narration from Roger L. Jackson, the iconic voice of Ghost Face!
For fans of slasher classics, delve into Emerson Matsuuchi’s Halloween The Board Game. This asymmetric multiplayer experience pits 2 to 4 players against each other, with one player embodying the relentless Michael Myers while the others desperately work together to escape his clutches in thrilling hour-long showdowns. Its successor, Halloween II The Board Game, offers the same intense asymmetric competitive gameplay but introduces fresh characters, mechanics, rules, and cards for even more terror.
If you prefer battling cosmic horrors with friends, grab Alien: Fate of the Nostromo from Ravensburger. This cooperative board game allows players to step into the roles of the Nostromo crew from the original film, striving to complete objectives and evade the terrifying Xenomorph. Game sessions are roughly an hour long and feature difficulty scaling and multiple unique objectives, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same. Plus, it even comes with an online video tutorial to help you get started.
But the horror doesn’t stop at strategy games! For those who love to test their genre knowledge, Amazon also has two horror-themed Trivial Pursuit games on sale. Trivial Pursuit: Horror Movie Edition is a fantastic choice for a quick, casual game night, featuring 600 questions covering a century of scary movies. For the ultimate horror aficionados, the Trivial Pursuit Horror Ultimate Edition boasts a massive 1,800 questions (that’s 1,200 more than the standard version!) to truly challenge even the most dedicated fans.
