You'll need to make the miniatures yourselfīig-box adventure games have created more buzz in the tabletop community than over the last few years, and this has more than enough bite to stand amongst the best of them. Get your poker face ready, folks you're going to need it. On top of seers who can check another person's card, there are other fun ideas like werewolf sympathizers, villagers who want to be wrongly accused, and drunks who are allowed to swap roles at random while everyone else is sleeping. New characters help shake things up as well. You've got to make your case before the group turns against you. Besides keeping everyone involved from start to finish, this means you aren't able to sit on the sidelines and wait for things to blow over. However, the twist is that players aren't killed each round as the name would suggest, you only 'go to sleep' once. With that in mind, it's what we'd recommend breaking out if you want to get your friends over for All-Hallow's Eve.Īt its core, this version of Werewolf is basically wink murder on a grand scale everyone has a hidden role, and the monster amongst you (if there is one, of course) must be found before the five-minute timer runs out. Fresher than the undead creatures you'll be facing off with, anyway.Īs the next step up from classics like Mafia, One Night Ultimate Werewolf is one of the best party board games there is - it's elegant and straightforward, yet still has bite. All adversaries must be defeated in a specific way (like destroying Dracula's many coffins so he has nowhere left to hide), and that keeps things fresh. Unique villain weaknesses add another layer to what is already a rich experience. There's only time to rescue one, so who do you save? You can't be everywhere at once, and that gives this Halloween board game an edge.
Perhaps the Wolfman is moments away from consuming a villager while the Mummy corners another hapless soul.
Because you'll always battle a pair of monsters at a time (both are descending on the most gothic village you've ever seen with murder on their mind), tough choices become inevitable. It's easily a front-runner for any list of the best cooperative board games.Ī lot of that comes down to Horrified's love of the humble 'trolley problem'. Horrified creaks under the weight of nostalgia as a result, but it never rests on those laurels it backs up brand value with clever gameplay and memorable situations. Nothing says Halloween more than vampires, mummies, and werewolves, so it's a real power move for this game to bring together monster royalty like Dracula and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
