[@Shoitaan]

Socio-Economic Inequality!

[@theretrosavage]

Nicholas Cage

Citizen Kane.

[@diceingaround8468]

Pennywise

[@ravensburgerna]

A nail-biter! Glad you got Dracula in time! Thanks for playing our game! 🧛

[@timstimbre9762]

The famed Blue triangle returns. You guys have been an icon for accessable, affordable quality games in the Netherlands since the 60's. This game is no exception!

[@PaddyDukes52]

The fact this game acknowledges Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein with the inclusion of the Chick and Wilbur villager card is what sold me on it

[@dangerousbeans2907]

You two really do an excellent job with your play throughs and rules explanations. Kudos. I found Horrified to be a wonderful co-op. I’ve played it many times now and not had a single player dislike it. Fantastic family weight game.

[@NakedSV650]

I have a lot of respect for how well you two get along. This was a pleasure.

[@fuzzynuts8129]

This game is so fun and addicting. I love it.

[@jonkirk2118]

What a brilliant playthrough. Gripping to watch! You've convinced me to pick this one up. Many thanks.

[@gerrade71278]

Thanks. I was so confused about the creatures movement from the rule book. But knowing it can move on both water spaces AND land spaces totally cleared that up. (I had never seen the movie so had zero context for its abilities).

[@Bassishify]

Great playthrough of a great game! I agree with you on all points. Sometimes a game just works on all fronts and this one really does. It’s so smooth and fun and should work for almost anyone.

[@monicap.2188]

Thank you for another great play through. Just got this game so excited to try it out now that I know how it works and that it looks so fun.

[@trice9159]

Just got the game! You both explained it so well i actually understood it. Thank you soooo much!

[@marknadeski7485]

Fun playthrough. I am definitely getting this game for my sister for her birthday. She's going to love it.

[@IllBuythePopcorn]

I've been wanting to add this game to my small beginner collection as I like the concept and design. Your video is the one I feel explained the game the best ☺️. Going to Target tomorrow to pick it up. Can't wait to play it!!

[@phantombelle9958]

Best Mother’s Day Gift ever!! Wish Phantom of the Opera was included 😔 but this was tons of fun! Thanks for explaining the game!! :)

[@vishganti8302]

This looks a great game! Can’t wait to check it out

[@itsGabrielaCristina]

I was considering buying this game and the fact that I was able to watch the whole playthrough and have so much fun just through watching it confirmed that this would be a great game for me!

[@stevegeorge7773]

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde I think would be a great addition for this game. But my favourite monster is The Darleks from Dr Who.

[@tzev13]

Thank you for teaching the game. I really love your channel!!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Our pleasure, glad you are liking the videos!

[@nakreid771]

Tanks for the video. My wife and I love this game. Playing against 4 monsters ended up wining 1 game, 2 games losing by 1 action and one game we got destroyed 🙂

[@tedduby2346]

Probably my game of the year for 2019!

[@luisaguayo5757]

I really enjoy your videos! How structured they are and attention to detail on playability. Sometimes it’s a bit hard for me to pay attention from a full hour video but I see the benefit of seen a play trough!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi Luis, thank you for the kind words! We like the structure of how we presents games, so everyone can skip to the parts of the video the like. :)

[@andresfrias4746]

I really liked this video! well done

[@woniepom]

thank you for picking that game, i love to see you guys play, you always explain very well

[@carmenredmann6396]

I really enjoyed this play through . Thanks :-)

[@hiramdiaz2160]

Just bought this game, was confused until watching y’all play. Great explanations! Thank you!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Glad to hear it! Hope you have fun with it!

[@RedKommunist]

Wow going back and watching the board games that got you into the hobby and then seeing this one next: this is the game that got me into the hobby in 2020. Love love love the theme! Usually play with just the girlfriend and myself (2 player) but might have to try the dummy player idea out next time. Also very easy to explain the concept (because it's thematic as hell) to another non-hobbyist couple for a 4 player game and we had a lot of fun that way. Would love to have Jekyll and Hyde and possibly the phantom of the opera for future expansion

[@WakeUpSmellTheCoffee]

I did not enjoy the game when playing the novice level; it was way too easy and our terror marker never moved from 0. I almost didn’t give it a second chance after that. I’m glad we went back after watching your playthrough, and played 3 medium and high complexity monsters and 2 heroes with 1 extra dynamic hero (like you guys). So so so so much fun!

[@billydefrancesco2376]

Addicted to this game! We play this game every Sunday as a family event. It doesn’t get old!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

It's EXCELLENT! Glad you are able to get it to the table so often

[@aba824]

Love the game :) I need to buy it somewhere and try it for my own!

[@wccarter08]

I always lose to the deck running out if we lose. We are always just one more turn away from winning every time. Such a well balanced game.

[@Thagrynor]

This game is so great, but monumentally strange. It is a game that both can be anywhere from 100% change to win (2 easy monsters) to a 100% chance to lose (using 4+ monsters) but at the same time, it starts at its hardest and gets easier as the game goes on. I look forward to any expansion they do with adding monsters/villains. It should make for some awesome stuff. Great play through! Really enjoyed it.

[@MrPrabhuJ]

Very good playthrough.

[@prisonmike3665]

Nicely played! Awesome video!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks a lot!

[@enprise7335]

Love this game so much fun!!

[@diceingaround8468]

This is me and my wife’s favorite game. I just saw that they are coming out with a new one. Hope you play through that one as well.

[@micahchurch5733]

just watching was fun so playing must be amazing

[@prisonmike3665]

I love this game!

[@danielmkubacki]

A great game I play this one a lot.

[@shadow9570]

@ 59:00 i WAS SCREAMING TO USE THE ITEMS BLUE YELLOW YELLOW BLUE AND GET THE MLNSTER of the lagoon TO THE END omg

[@Snoopy16mh]

They should make a game with a large map using hexagons to move and have different terrain to effect movement. Use pistols 1-3 points of damage and rifles 1-6 points of damage. use ammo like regular or silver bullets against cryptids like the Dogman, Bigfoot, Gillman, Lake Monster, Jersey Devil, Mothman, Ropen, Wampus Cat etc. You could have 1-6 players and one player playing the monsters.

[@TomHickey]

51:34 love it!

[@Tonykoh1116]

I encountered this game at Target and I wasn't sure if id like playing it so I briefly watched your video and I'm getting an impression that this is "simplified and twisted version of Arkham horror with Halloween theme attached..."

[@enprise7335]

You guys should do a walk through and review of “Horrified Greek monsters” and “ Lord of the rings Adventure to Mount Doom”.

[@enprise7335]

You guys are two of the better gamemasters in explaining the rules and gameplay and you make it fun to watch as well

[@robinreeve]

Thanks for that excellent playthrough ! I really like your interaction: no alpha player effect, you both are proactive, thinking and deciding together for the better. The game is heading my way (towards Switzerland, where Mary Shelley actually wrote Frankenstein...) and I am looking forward to enjoying it.

[@charlesbarber5157]

That the question I had; if moving through a space can you use an action to pick up all items in said space and then move again if additional actions are remaking

[@CadenzaVvi]

Interesting game. I've never played, but I see two moments where I would have made different choices: at the beginning, I think I would have taken the death on the courier to save the blue items and get the cure faster. Then by the end, when you went to destroy the 3rd coffin, I would have taken the items in the church, the graveyard, then taxi to the crypt and destroy the coffin. One item for safety; 2 spaces away from monster and more items available on the way back. With your next cards, it wouldn't have changed much and I think you were lucky with your villagers? Because it's the only game I saw and your death marker was very low by the end. I'm guessing it's not always the case. Anyway, nice game! I don't think it's a game I'll buy, but if I have the opportunity, I would be curious to play once or twice.

[@drorios8864]

Do you prefer this version or the newer version?

[@steventurner6902]

I have a rule question… If you land on a space at the end of your turn and as the other players take their turns an object is loaded onto your space does it cost you a move to pick it up at the start of your next turn?

[@Console_Yourself]

Do you think this game has a lot of replayability?

[@eileenbond6107]

58:31 wouldn't Wolfman move towards the purple since his is the Hunted?

[@BirdieMoonEDU]

From Peter Lee: “Wolfman still follows all normal targeting rules. The only time he moves directly towards the hunted character is when you draw one of the three ‘the Hunt is On’ cards.”

[@timstimbre9762]

Paddy, the creature from the Blue Lagoon...

[@zebulunmcgowin1424]

You made a mistake on the first monster turn. Dracula skill can pull you to him so you have to roll the dice. Wolf man you don't need to roll if no one is in his space.

[@BirdieMoonEDU]

Dracula’s special action is only activated if there is a dice roll, which would only take place if there’s a hero or villager on his space.

[@christianrolighed8446]

Why play with a dummy player? What are the pros and cons? I never tried it :)

[@xaviarmartinez6504]

If you have 2 items and your hero shares a space with a villager and a monster’s strike delivers 3 hits, what is the resolution of this situation ?

[@prisonmike3665]

The hero takes all the hits and is off the board til their next turn, the villager stays.

[@BobLee-df4zh]

Monsters always prefer attacking heros.

[@JAM_5899]

I’ve never beaten this game before

[@BGBarbarian]

I love you guys but that shirt. 😄

[@BeforeYouPlay]

I believe it was laundry day... haha😆

[@corrado]

I mean, it's basically a card game disguised as a board game 🤷

[@Thelacruzmaria]

[@terryrobbins5977]

Is it just me or are they pronouncing the word "courier" differently than Americans do. No disrespect intended just curious, that's all.
