Tabletop Terror - Best Horror-Themed Games. A number of great games for playing on or around Halloween including a bunch of suggestions from The Lobby. Sticking to the theme we have reviews of the ALIEN RPG Starter Set and EXIT: The Catacombs of Horror. We diverge a bit in our week in review where we’ve got first thoughts on Chronicles of Crime 1400, Robotech Force of Arms and more.
The second escape room in a box style game using the Coded Chronicles system is The Shining: Escape from the Overlook Hotel. This is a puzzle-based game from The Op based on the famous Stephen King horror story.
As Halloween fast approaches I thought it would be a good time to talk about Horror board games and spooky boardgames great for a horror-themed game night.
Now is the time of year for playing Halloween themed board games. To that end, over the last couple of days, we have played through EXIT: The Catacombs of Horror. A rather difficult puzzle-filled board game from Thames & KOSMOS.
Folks seemed to really enjoy the pages we put together rounding up the free RPGs and print and play board games that publishers have been generously offering during the pandemic.
Free League Publishing is really nailing it in the licenced RPG scene. First with Tales from the Loop and now with their new ALIEN The Roleplaying Game featuring the world of Ridley Scott's ALIEN movies. The most recent thing to come out for the ALIEN RPG is the ALIEN The Roleplaying Game Starter Set, a new RPG boxed set.
What’s New for Two - The best newer two-player board games. Tying into that we’ve got a review of one of the hottest new two-player games out there right now Watergate from Capstone games. In our week in review, we continue our Jaws of the Lion campaign, discuss some 7 wonders, Clans of Caledonia, Terra Mystica and Rallyman GT online, and I convinced Deanna to try For the Queen, A pass the stick style indie RPG.
