Get spooked on horror board games this Halloween! Featuring the old and new.

6. Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game is a survival horror board game that pits small-town Heroes head-to-head against a limitless horde of Zombies (players can play on the Hero team or as the Zombies).

A modular board randomly determines the layout of the town at the start of each game and there are several different scenarios to play, adding lots of replayability. Fast Paced Game Play with Easy To Learn rules allows players to jump right into the action, while Strategic Depth and Strong Cooperative Play keeps the game interesting. To achieve a horror movie feel, all of the art for the game is photographic and the game comes with a CD Soundtrack of original music.

5. Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos.

Players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it’s up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. It’s up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close portals to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many portals open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world. Defeat the Ancient One in combat! [ Buy brand new @ S$75 See under Blog>Inventory]

4. One of the two players represents Jack the Ripper, who will be one of the 8 characters on the board. The other player represents an independent investigator who tries to guess the identity of Jack.

During each turn the players move the characters, using their special powers, placing them either in shadow or light. At the end of each turn, the witnesses declare if Jack is visible (in light, or adjacent to another character) or not (alone in the shadows). This allows the investigator to know which characters are innocent. This continues as the investigator tries to eliminate suspects while Jack tries to escape. Intuition, logic and cold blood will be necessary for each of the two participants. [ This game is available for rental. Click image to find out more. Buy brand new @ S$61.80]

Listed below are classic board games that are solely for our readers and sadly not available in our inventory. ( Games are available as listed above only)

3. A Ouija board, also known as spirit board or talking board is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and other symbols, theoretically used to communicate with spirits.

It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit’s message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out messages. Ouija is a trademark for a talking board currently sold by Parker Brothers. [ more at wikipedia ]

2. Which Witch? A classic three dimensional haunted house race game from the seventies. Published by the Milton Bradley Company, designed by Marvin Glass.

Players move their pawns around the board trying to be the first to escape the house. Along the way players draw cards that either: a) turn you into a mouse (can’t move), b) turn you back into a child if you are a mouse, or c) have you drop the “whammy” ball down the chimney.

1. Green Ghost is a board game published in 1965 by the Transogram Company for up to 4 players. The board is of the 3D genre in that it features standing scenery and is designed to appear as a spooky town. [ more at wikipedia ]

The Green Ghost haunted graveyard game made by Transogram is unique in many ways but most importantly it is the only board game designed to be played in the dark! Several of the parts are made of a special material that retains light and glows mysteriously in the dark.
