About the game

What is This Game Is Killer: Frozen Horror?

In This Game Is Killer: Frozen Horror, you are trapped in an arctic outpost with a Horror that can mimic any life form. No one trusts anyone anymore. The object is simple: Stay away from everyone else and Stay Alive! It is a Semi Cooperative game where many can win, but killing the Horror might actually be a fellow teammate. Just play two cards and see who’s dead - as in This Game Is Killer, but with positional movement! In a round, you will be dealt two cards. Each can be played as either as your Movement through a color coded access passage or as an Action (what you do). On a turn, you play one card, then after everyone has finished, play reverses and comes back around, with you playing the second card for whatever you didn't choose the first time. Thus, you always have one movement and one action. But each round, the Horror pretends to be someone else. You never know who it will be? Did they move into your room to get away from someone else - or to get in your room to kill you!? With a bit of skill and luck, however, you may be able to figure out who the Horror is and kill it with fire or by shooting it - unless it was one of your actual teammates you just killed in a paranoid frenzy! This is horror survival - if horror survival were funny. And it very often goes down to the last two players. As long as one player outlives the alien, the group wins. —description from publisher
