It’s been a while.<\/p>\n

Today I got a new game that I tried immediately when I got home, and I really like it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m not a big horror film fan, but the Universal Studios Monsters have always been a favorite subject of mine.\u00a0 I’ve seen them all, with The Mummy<\/em> as my favorite of these films.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein<\/em> counts, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyways, the object of the game is to defeat 2-4 monsters, with 1-5 players\/heroes.<\/p>\n

I set up play with 3 heroes, so it wasn’t a true solo setup.\u00a0 The monsters were the suggested 1st play ones, Dracula and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.\"\"<\/p>\n

Each turn consists of a Hero phase and then a Monster Phase, though this can be disrupted via perk cards.\u00a0 Heroes get a number of actions (move, collect items, share items, etc) and then the monsters draw a card from a deck, which may have special actions and may have them attacking heroes and villagers.<\/p>\n

As the heroes are defeated (they return via the hospital) and villagers are attacked, the terror track goes up, and if it gets to the skull (7), the game ends.<\/p>\n

If you run out of cards from the monster deck, the game ends.<\/p>\n

In my game the terror track got to 4 but I managed to defeat both monsters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next time I play solo I’ll truly play solo, with only one hero under my control, instead of 3.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to playing this one with my group, though we’ll probably wait until our October (Halloween) session to play it.<\/p>\n

Recommended if you like co-op games, and classic monsters.\u00a0 Very thematic,\u00a0 and plays rather quickly.\u00a0 I think I was done in about an hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
