[@shelbyramin1376]

I would but I don't use Amazon. You have convinced me to buy Nemesis though, my friends and I will be playing that very soon.

[@donatohunter]

I decided to get Betreyal at House on the Hill.

[@Anyanca093]

Thank you. I've recently found your channel and I am eagerly going through your videos. Have you tried Camp Grizzly yet (if you were lucky enough to find the game)?

[@smoothie9193]

After i asked them to send some missing pieces for a Villainous expansion i bought, Ravensburger sent me Horrified: American Monsters for free. Blew my mind because it couldn't have been out for a week. Their games are fun and their customer service was top notch. BUY THEIR GAMES PEOPLE!

[@tylerdavis6389]

I'm a big Horrified fan, and they just put out a freaking Gargoyles game that I must have. I'm super excited to see what the future of horrified is.

[@JohnnyPaco81]

How did you get them to respond to you? I messaged them back in May when I got El Dorado and it’s expansion. The games came with German components(I live in the us). I messaged them again in July and to this date still no response from them

[@ClockworkWyrm]

@@tylerdavis6389 They have a nice coop Alien game called Alien: Fate of the Nostromo. It's not the heaviest game in the world and it's mostly pick up and deliver but there's a cool encounter deck that helps the game keep the tension level up. The minis are just fabulous and players all have difference skills kind of like Horrified. If you enjoy light games I recommend.

[@jahimjauh-hey5653]

I like the Universal Monsters one more.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

I don’t like the fact that you said “unravel the knot” in a game about werewolves.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

We only had 1 ironclad rule in Gloom: you HAD to improvise a story around each card played. And it had to build into and lead to something else.

[@johantroskie3339]

I'm so psyched for nemesis in two weeks!!! Literally cannot wait!

[@snapwilson]

I have fallen in unreasonable love with Nemesis and it's about time you guys played it.

[@undecided399]

We always play Mansions of madness with a spooky soundtrack playing in the background. The environment and just overall vibes from that game always makes our night.

[@ClockworkWyrm]

Played Mansions for the first time on Sunday and I highly recommend though the cost is prohibitive (thankfully I played a friends copy). The only two things we had issue with was getting our tablet to cast to the TV (thanks Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. for making that nearly impossible) and at the price point I expected better quality minis.

[@LordHengun]

I want to see Fury of Dracula on Board Game Club SO bad!

[@Petegrinder13]

Elder Sign is a fun dice rolling lovecraftian game.

[@aazron87]

Would love to see you guys play Fury of Dracula on the channel, looks like such a fun interesting game.

[@paigeherrmann6332]

Dread is hands down my favorite tabletop game ever. I’m so happy to see it on this list

[@lexsellsmerch3512]

I’m still on the fence about committing to Nemesis but in 2 weeks we get to see it played through. I’ll have a better understanding of the game then and can decide if it’s worth the investment. Also, Hit The Silk! just arrived the other day and I can’t wait to play it with my friends!

[@drew20125]

Last Night on Earth is one of my favorite games, I bought all the expansions for the extra characters and scenarios but none of my friends ever wanna play it.

[@ianthompson3628]

Love Last Night on Earth! It's been out of the limelight for a while now, but I try to bust it out(and all of it's expansions) at least once a year around Halloween. Glad it's getting a shout out.

[@Ri96junk]

I'm looking for a boardgame that the miniatures have light and u have to play it with lights off, I think the objective was searching for a ghost or monster with clues

[@zayfardplays7742]

Will you promise to play fury of dracula too. I can imagine that being hilarious to watch you guys play

[@elitedrigo3400]

Do you have an idea of where I can get Fury of Dracula?

[@EmperorSarco]

It's September! AKa, pre-spooky season

[@barterist55]

Blood in the clocktower!

[@IWasLeft2Die]

Brings me a lot of joy seeing this and owning more than half the games along with seeing Nemesis at the top

[@JaimeR13]

My Halloween games are Maximum Apocalypse Gothic Horrors & Elder Sign

[@iceman2292]

Also great list will definitely be picking some of these up

[@martingardnerii]

for my partner and I, we enjoy Abomination if we want a longer game, if we want campy horror, Run, Fight, or Die, Reloaded, or Cthulhu: Death May Die, plus honorary mentions to The Others from CMON, and Court of the Dead. we love them even if we don't get it to the table as often as we'd like.

[@Redcoat86]

Ten candles - holla!

[@adamcooke3929]

I'll be playing Resident Evil 2 the board game or Zombicide.

[@williamjones4117]

I like the list, and not just because I already own 70% of the games on it. It's always nice to learn about new games for the season of spooks. A Touch of Evil is a favorite among my friend group, and I'm trying to bring the beefy Kickstarter boy Deep Madness to the table. Just... Having an issue finding a suitably sized table. -_-

[@TheDragonSlayerShow]

Funny enough, I actually got my copy of Zombicide at a garage sale for $5... But I have now sunk a little over $200 into it by buying expansions and new zombie types.

[@tylerdavis6389]

I wait patiently for some Arkham files on BGC.

[@HobbyNight]

You obviously saw my video yesterday and immediately threw this together in 24 hours! Expect to hear from my Chaos Cultist!

[@WebMonkey741]

It looks like you've got the Betrayal Upgrade Kit in there Adam. They unfortunately don't come with the original game. Way to confuse people! ;)

[@NoPreyRemains]

Eldritch Horror - if you have 5 hours and you don't mind then getting kicked in the balls and losing due to a stupid card draw. F that game. Also, Adam, no Ghost Stories, for shame my dude, for shame.

[@captaincarl8230]

I picked up Horrified earlier this year and love it. One of the things that I like is that one of the village characters is named "Wilbur and Chick". They are the two main characters in my favorite horror film, "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein". I'll be playing the game solo with the three Hollywood monsters that were making their swan song: Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolfman. The Invisible Man was a small character at the end so I won't do anything with him. He's like John Cena anyway, you can't see him.

[@enigmaskull3495]

2:59 That’s not Roman Reigns.

[@nobodywantsthethimble]

“Oh no, Mr. Giggles was baked into a pie! Don’t eat that!” Why? Because it tastes funny. 🥸

[@Windrake101]

Budum tiss

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

Number 1: Monopoly because you never know if you’ll have friends after 5 hours

[@megaansem]

I think there needs to be one more thing said about Dread: Each player also has the option of the heroic sacrifice, tipping the tower over on purpose to succeed on what they were doing, but dying in the process. It's a mechanic that has so much impact in this game, do you keep going until it can't no more, do you take one for the team to get them towards the 'goal', or do you save it for that one crucial moment when everything seems lost?

[@samhayden60]

Was expecting to see Mysterium on this list, it's a bit spooky, especially with the expansion that changes the weapon for last vision cards.

[@lilz3337]

I agree it's spooky and a great game, but I don't think it fits the "horror" description. As not a big horror person though it's one of my favorite games for Halloween. I just got Mysterium Park, and love having it as a complain to my big box Mysterium. Will have to look into that last vision expansion though since that sounds interesting!

[@haydengittins2836]

I'm a big fan of Arkham Horror LCG. Bar the RPG game itself I think this game best captures the feel of the Mythos.. when you 'win' a campaign with the barest sliver of sanity or health left it's a great feeling.

[@TheBT]

Yeah, betrayal can go sidewise, we had a haunt that is very dependent on how many tiles had already been drawn and got it on the second haunt roll. It was a very short game

[@MiSTSYL]

I've had a similar thing happen in Betrayal Legacy too, so it's definitely, unfortunately, baked in to the game design.

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

It's one of those things where it would be nice if they tried to do an app that would dynamically balance a scenario based on what weapons had been found, what rooms were out etc

[@nobodywantsthethimble]

They fixed that in Betrayal Legacy and At Baldurr’s Gate. In those, you roll dice equal to the number of Omens you have in play and you need to roll a 6 or higher to start the haunt. So you need at the very least three omen tiles on the board before the haunt could start. Technically, it could start on the third player’s turn, but it’s less likely.

[@zergy55]

Yeah I played Betrayal once and I lost miserably because the card I needed was at the very bottom of the deck so I had to grind through the whole deck while the bad guy just picked us off one at a time. Kinda sucked

[@candasjankowski6627]

I love betrayal yeah sometimes it can go sideways but in my experience that is rare. When it goes right it is so fun especially being the traitor. It is a blast!

[@foxbear60]

Betrayal/Hill, Ghosts Love Candy, and Zombie 15 are some of my favorites for this time of year.

[@sumanboselordofnewnation]

I have two of them... Eldritch with a lots of expansion and my recent addition Betrayal 2nd edition 👺... Looking for a cheaper option to buy Nemesis.

[@zackdawson669]

Thank you for placing Gloom here. I had this game on my list of games to purchase, and it sort of fell off my radar. This list reminded me of how much I wanted to pick it up. Might be a purchase pretty soon. Lots of great games here, even if I’ll never afford Nemesis.

[@aaroncollins6411]

Needs more atmosfear

[@sirpoupadou]

Brilliant top 10!! Not exactly an obvious horror theme, but we had a few Sub Terra games that were a thing of The Descent nightmare, very good little game and super thematic!

[@marvinko6610]

I want to play Betrayal so bad, but there is no German version out there and my friends avoid the English language like the plaque

[@nerdyhypnox8672]

it is available in german (betrayal at house on the hill, not the legacy version although and not the expansion widows hill) and if you have the englosh version there is a translation in german in the web

[@marvinko6610]

@@nerdyhypnox8672 No way. I just googled it and you're right! Holy shit, thank you! It must have never been in stock, when I searched for it. Or I'm actually the worst at Google

[@Nosferatu755]

From the makers of Last Night on Earth, I can thoroughly recommend A Touch of Evil. It's basically Sleepy Hollow as a board game, with some wonderfully atmospheric and evocative moments

[@simpsonwizekid]

The Night Cage came out not too long ago, but man is it a fun game. The idea is that you and the rest of the playere wake up naked in a dark ever changing labyrinth. You only have a weak candle to illuminate the tiles around you as you navigate the maze trying to find keys that will open up the exit. Butyou're not the only thing in the maze. You encounter monsters that will snuff out your lighy, making you panic and possibly trigger more monsters in your state. The mechanics are simple, but it can get really hard real quick. There are even more things from the box you can add to the game to increase the difficulty. It's probably the most atmospheric game I've played recently too. I highly recommend it. Ive only played one game of Horrified: American Monsters, and while it was fun, I'd probably wait till they come out with a revised edition. There are a few typos in the game, and one of them might be considered game breaking.

[@UltimateHikikomori]

Oof. Watched the newest season of my fav Anime, higurashi, not too long ago.. now i really want to play tragedy loopers xD anyone who likes the concept of tragedy loopers and watches Anime or want to Start watching Anime, higurashi is a big Suggestion..

[@aduinoch]

Nothing related to this video, but I wanted to put it somewhere you guys would likely see it.... Just bought Mysterium, can't wait to play it.

[@o2Tenka]

This season I will be playing MONOPOLY (easter edition)

[@Naruedyoh]

So, you really don't like tories from Newcastle

[@likesgames123]

About Eldritch Horror. In my experience it can go REALLY badly depending on the RNG and become a slog. Because you have to travel around the world it can take several turns before you can even begin to solve the mystery to any degree. At times we needed like 3 turns of preparation, 2 turns to get there. Only to get bad rolls and waste our resources. It didn't feel nice. There is this one miniboss as a mystery that teleports around after each combat. It ruined the whole game because we could not keep up with it. The game would really benefit from things like plane travel to certain parts at a higher cost. I haven't tried the expansions tho.

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

I have a theory that Eldritch Horror was heavily inspired by Talisman and they decided to get rid of the roll and move, those complaints remind me of almost every game of Talisman I've slogged through

[@madmartian1175]

Adam, what about a Facehugger with Cheeto Fingers chasing you? How is that for true nightmare fuel?

[@PepsiBoy3000]

The Resident Evil Board Games by Steamforged are brill. The expansions for Resi 2 add an insane amount of immersion and detail to an already immersive and detailed core game! Highest recommendation with the Kickstarter for their Resi 1 game coming soon.

[@joshfrench5858]

Zombies!!! is all right. Fury of Dracula. Horrified

[@ThePhenomenalEX]

Nemesis on BGC the day after my birthday? Fuck. Yes.

[@riff727]

Two that I have really enjoyed have been Cthulhu: Death May Die and Deep Madness. Deep Madness is a very narrative co-op game that is sort of like Alien at the bottom of the ocean. Interesting play mechanics and great atmosphere that helps sell the horror

[@rosaboyso1785]

I'm going to be playing horrified,night of the living dead a zombicide game and jaws

[@MiSTSYL]

Next weekend I'll be playing Abomination: Heir of Frankenstein. It's a lovely, gory, gothic worker placement where you're cobbling together body parts at the behest of the monster, in order to recreate Frankenstein's infamous experiment. It's a lot of fun, if on the long side.

[@illwill1991]

I played the scariest game on Halloween! Alcoholism!

[@TainakaRicchan]

I remember "fondly" a dread game, where we watched, in terrified silence, where one player hat to pull 5 pulls from the tower very, very late into the game. It took, like, 30 minutes, and it was nailbitingly tense.

[@dwaterson21]

God I wanna see these guys play Tragedy Looper so goddamn bad

[@deanoreilly2955]

Also worth noting that last night on Earth comes with a soundtrack CD

[@seanbecker3314]

Dread is one of my favorite rpgs. It is but a gimmick. The Jenga tower is a brilliant ticking clock, knowing something horrible is going to happen.

[@JackArcherX]

Dread is, to this day, my favourite One-Shot system of all time. Because of how simple it is, the possibilities to mod it to your needs are absolutely endless. We've had nail biting moments like when one of my players risked 11 blocks to do something completely insane and pulled it off without the tower ever shaking. Or that one time when we had a player knock down the tower on the very first pull. It's one of the best systems to genuinely create a sense of urgency and, well, dread, to your players and I urge everyone to give it a try. Plus, the character creation is one of the best on any RPG system ever and we've officially incorporated it into all of our other games going forward.

[@jtm-inc2912]

Adam's got such a way with words... His speech at 10:45 proves it.

[@TheWobbinator1]

NEMESIS TO NRB CONFIRMED!!!

[@rjlima4985]

I got Horrified American Monsters the other week and I love it. Buyer beware though, there are a lot of typos. Ive found 4 or 5 in the rule book, one on a monster mat, and one on an item. That being said, it doesn’t take too much away from the fun for me, it’s still great to play, but if typos are a dealbreaker for you then perhaps wait for a reprint that fixes them

[@juanj.arroyo870]

I found two in the book and some items say "Sheriff's Station" and others say "Police Station" and it confused me for a few moments, haha

[@kennythedragon40]

No new botc today?

[@joshuag7027]

Hyped for Nemesis!

[@haramlee83]

Touch of evil

[@FaTerokiMenra]

It's funny seeing Scooby Doo mentioned during Betrayal since there's an official Scooby Doo version of the game.

[@mageside]

Please play Mansions of Madness as a BIG board game stream or something and upload it as an Archive!!! That is THE best board game of all time coupled with Dinosaur Island!

[@RobotPirateGhost]

The only horror game I own is Horrified so we'll probably be playing that. Might pick up the American Monsters version

[@Tizzandor]

I'll try and run a game of Call of Chulhu for my friends, trying to get them to absolutely mess their pants with soundtracks, sound effects and sudden screams. Only thing is that I'll not play at my place, it's difficult to get the messy stains out of the sofa

[@paulcoy9060]

I bought Horrified, but because I have a lot of Heroclix Monsters, I use them instead of the single-color monsters the game comes with. They are also bigger than the originals, and look great on the board.

[@NaschC101]

I still wanna see the team play Betrayal House on the hill

[@brittanyolson3913]

I believe they are playing that game for their release today!

[@fluffixation]

I was today years old when I learned there was a Cthulhu version of Pandemic. Cheers Adam, that's my new thing I learned today.

[@wemf2]

I have been playing Who Goes There; it's like Dead of Winter with the paranoia ramped up because at any time any of your team mate becomes vulnerable, he/she can become a hidden betrayer. Delicious!

[@Immafuggin182]

Betrayal at the House on the Hill is one of my all time favorite board games but the Legacy game tops it.

[@kotoasty]

Adam ended the video with a Bryan Danielson-like reveal at the end with “Nemesis in two weeks” lmaooo

[@jimphilidor9031]

I only have Nemesis and it sure is lot of fun. But I'll definitely want to check some of these others out.

[@Johnprestonevans74]

Great list containing one of my favorite themes. Id love to see you guys play Gloom. Oh the stories you could tell. : )

[@TheKurdSimRacer]

I can't wait for this week's board game club

[@therabbit317]

I hope they play one of these games instead of party games.

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

Alas, I have absolutely no interest in Cthulhu which takes out many of the horror games in general. I'd go with Dead Of Winter as my favourite, and Bloody Inn which is more macabre than horrifying but kind of fits Halloween. Also intrigued by the new Let's Summon Demons game but I'm not sure if it's out or if people have just started to get review copies

[@martingardnerii]

Let's Summon Demons isn't out in retail yet, i'm keeping an eye out for it as well lol

[@amishman]

I love a good game of Dead of Winter.

[@Cyrillic2049]

Adam you have to play Betrayal at house on the Hill with the crew on KZbin! That would make me a very happy man 😢
