2-7 Players Ī cooperative steampunk and Lovecraftian horror themed game, Machina Arcana will have players descending into a dungeon in a neo-Victorian world. Mysterium is easy to learn, but definitely challenging to win. The other players must correctly identify The who, what, and where of the murder before time runs out. One player takes on the role of the ghost (the victim of the crime), who can only communicate with players through the use of dream cards. In this cooperative game, players are conducting a séance in a house where someone was murdered.
The only thing that keeps it from being higher on this list is the number of errata and errors plaguing early editions of the game. Mythos Tales is all about the story, having no game board, dice, or miniatures. However instead of trying to solve murders in London, you are investigating strange happenings in familiar Mythos locations. The game play in Mythos Tales is inspired from the unique game Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective. Plus, there are a few different themes for you to choose from: modern day, fantasy, and the upcoming sci-fi. However, for a dice chucking minis game where you can slaughter the undead by the dozens, it’s hard to find a better choice. Characters are fairly powerful and it’s really not until late in the game, when rounds are spawning undead in large masses, that the tension finally starts to appear. It’s not higher on the list because I don’t get a huge horror vibe from it. If you want to experience hordes of raging undead, then Zombicide is your drink of choice. That being said, it’s such a great game with a solid theme, it deserves an honorable mention at least. While I really enjoy playing a globe-trotting adventurer trying to keep a Great Old One in check, it’s really more of an adventure game than a horror game in my opinion. Should you want more in that genre, we have a top 10 list for each already! Top 10 Horror Themed Board Games Honorable Mention: Eldritch Horror ( review)Īs much as I wanted to put Eldritch Horror on this list, I just really don’t get a scary or spooky vibe from it. And to stop the usual choices from dominating the list, I tried to keep Cthulhu themed and Zombie games from appearing too many times (no more than 3 of each). I’ve put together my list of my Top 10 Horror Themed Board Games.
