About the game

What is Horrified?

Imagine living in a place so wretched that it's not plagued by one, two, or even three monsters — but seven of the most horrifying fiends! In this game, you'll come face to face with them all as you work together to rid the town of the maniacal or misunderstood creatures - before it's too late. Horrified is a co-operative game where players battle the classic Universal movie monsters. Players win or lose together. Players win when all Monsters are defeated but will lose if the Terror track reaches the skull space OR the Monster deck is empty when a card is needing to be drawn. On a player’s turn, they will do their Hero phase actions. Then the Monsters act in the Monster phase. Event cards determine which monster is in play. Horrified includes high-quality sculpted miniatures (Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Dracula, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon). Its innovative, easy-to-learn, cooperative gameplay has players working together against the monsters with varying levels of difficulty. Just as each monster is unique, they require different strategies and tactics to be defeated. —description from the publisher
