The new Horrified installment challenges players to defeat Greek monsters.
Horrified: Greek Monsters is another successful installment of the Horrified franchise, with new monsters to fight while trying to manage a lot of competing interests. The new cooperative board game, set for release by Ravensburger NA in October, continues the series of Horrified games, with players tasked to defeat a collection of monsters as they rampage across a fictional Greek landscape.
Play is split into two phases – the player phase and the monster phase. During the player phase, the active player can take four actions to move across the board, collect items, or advance the monster's defeat condition. Most player characters also have a special action they can use that allows them to fast travel, freely share items, or gain other beneficial effects. Once the active player has gone, the monster phase starts by drawing a monster action card.
The players win if they can vanquish all their monsters, but they lose if they run out of monster action cards or if the game's terror level increases to its maximum level. I also like how Horrified: Greek Monsters is more difficult as more players are added. Because one of the game's loss conditions is based around the monster action deck, the more players you have means the less turns each player gets to act per game. That means that it's not necessarily a good strategy to leave one monster to one player, because the board might change drastically by the time a player's next turn comes around.
