by Dawn

Are you hosting a Halloween Party? Maybe you’re just looking for some great themed games! Let us make some suggestions for you!

• Spot It! Halloween – Blue Orange Games, ages 7+, 2-8 players, 15 minutes. If you’ve played any of the Spot It! Line, this one plays the same, just Halloween themed pictures.  Very fast paced and light hearted!
• Zombie Kidz – Iello, ages 7+, 2-4 players, 15 minutes. Iello makes a consistent line of simple games to play with your kids.  This is another light hearted, fast, board game.
• One Night Ultimate Werewolf – Bezier Games,  ages 8+, 3-10 players, 10 minutes. Card choices determine your starting role. Try and figure out who is the werewolf before you become one. There are expansions if you have more players!
• Cultist & Cthulhu – Prolific Games, ages 8+, 2-8 players, 20 minutes. Another hit by local designers, if you like Flapjacks  & Sasquatches, you’ll like Cultist & Cthulhu. It’s a comedic, fast paced card game where you spend as much time trying to stop your neighbor as you do trying to raise Cthulhu!
• GURPS Zombies – Steve Jackson Games. Plan a night of Role Playing and grab this source book for all kinds of zombie lore and the survivors who fight them off. This is a source book only, you’ll need to be familiar with the GURPS system.
• Munchkin: Zombies – Steve Jackson Games, ages 10+, 3-6 players, 1-2 hours. Play as a stand alone game, or add to your regular Munchkin game. It plays just like all the other Munchkin games! Kick open the door, defeat the monster, take the treasure! There are also Zombie! Small expansions if you want a more robust game, but don’t want to just add it to your basic game.
• Brain Games – Buffalo Games, ages 14+, 3-6 players. Based on the Nat Geo channel show. It’s full of brain teasers! Each card features some kind of a brain trick. How many can you see past?
• Ghost Stories – Antoine Bauza, ages 14+, 1-4 players, 60 min. Add an Eastern flair to your ghost stories, save a Middle Empire village from the approaching Lord of the Nine Hell’s horde! This is a game in the growing cooperative game genre! It’s you and your friends against the game!
• Eldritch Horror – Fantasy Flight Games, ages 14+, 1-8 players, 2-4 hours. Another cooperative game. This one is set in 1926, based on the Cthulhu Myths, and inspired by their ever popular Arkham Horror games. There are several Eldritch Horror expansions, because who doesn’t need more Elder Gods to defeat!
• Mysterium – Asmodee, ages 10+, 2-7 players, 42 minutes. This is a mostly cooperative game. You have a limited time to solve each section, or the murderer goes free! Take on the role of the speechless ghost of the victim, or an investigator! The ghost character can’t speak to the rest of the players, making it just a touch more difficult to solve the mystery!
• Betrayal at House on the Hill – Avalon Hill, ages 12+, 3-6 players, 1 hour. This is a classic cooperative game with a traitor! Fight the monsters, reveal the traitor and escape the House on the Hill! The new expansion, Widow's Walk, will be available 10/14/16
