Horrified - How To Play

[@erl7466]

Rodney continues to be the best game rules teacher on youtube. engaging, fun, and complete. and now i want this game too! cheers.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you!

[@gairethnelson]

@@WatchItPlayed so are the bridges and lamp and fountain (places without names) count as spots? And can the blacklagoon creature attack the bridges or does he just pass under?

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@gairethnelson Yes, those spots without names are spaces. The Black lagoon creature can still move on lands spaces, it's just the only creature that will also use water spaces (which it would shorten their path).

[@sarahnez9137]

Agreed

[@toweypat]

Aw, I love how you win against Frankenstein's monster.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Me too :)

[@SirNichosis]

Love the classic monsters in this! Looks like a great co-op game. Great tutorial as always Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much Nichosis - glad you enjoyed!

[@safehousehorror121]

You, sir, have a true knack for this. Extremely well done! I honestly feel I'll be able to take it straight from the box and play immediately, and not once were you boring. Just... amazingly well done.

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's really kind of you to say - thank you!

[@gerardodeleon8472]

Nobody does it better than Rodney. Now I'm ready to play.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time with it!

[@Danathon80]

This video had our game group playing Horrified immediately without issue after watching it. I would love an 'American Monsters' version of this game explanation. There's so much confusion over various monsters behaviour in the AM version, the rule book is amongst the worst I've encountered (misprints, unclear, lacking information and contradictory). A clear, concise, video like you did for the original would help clear up alot of confusion. Help us Obi-Wan Smith, you're our only hope (I appreciate it's on Ravensburger to make this happen but hopefully you can Jedi mind trick them in to it if they're crazy enough not to have asked you already).

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest, and sorry to hear that version caused some confusion. I doubt I'd cover that one as I suspect the general rules are the same as this one, aside from the individual monsters.

[@davidparker8749]

I’d agree with this request! I just got the first game, and there’s some contradictions on how to use items and what not. If it was a small mechanic of the game, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but it completely changes how the game is played.

[@Ryguy0707]

My wife found this game and we tried watching a How To video from someone else and 1 minute in she didn't like the person or the game. But then I showed her this and she watched all of it and is interested in the game again. You are just great at this

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's very kind of you to say - glad this video was helpful!

[@carluno7198]

It’s funny, after watching tons of “how to play” videos, Rodney is just at a different level. Thanks for showing me how to play this game that arrived today 👍

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Carl, really glad you've enjoyed these videos!

[@JamieTheHowe]

Rodney Smith is the best person I’ve ever encountered for making rules explanations simple, fun, and positive. Whether there is an explanation from him plays a critical part in my decision to buy a new game. This video is no exception. Looking forward to playing this game with my family tomorrow.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a wonderful time playing together and thank you for the kind words!

[@typostitch544]

I got this game today and I can't stop playing it! Thanks for showing it to me, Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you’re enjoying :)

[@chevjr]

Great video. Picked the game up after watching this video and we all love it. Easy for the kids to pick up the rules. Love the classic monster theme too. Thanks for demonstrating.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - glad you all enjoyed!

[@frankenoise]

Bought this game a month ago. Love your video on it! What I like to do in 2 player, for some coop competition, is if we beat the monsters the player with the highest token value at the end "wins". Makes it even a bit more challenging.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you've been enjoying!

[@timborocksloud]

just bought this game since there was a Watch it Played video. What a great little gem! Used the video to teach my non gamer wife and we really enjoyed it! This would make a fantastic "gateway" game to introduce people to the hobby. Wonderfully thematic, easy to learn mechanics, and great replayability with numerous creatures, combos of said creatures, and heroes with different abilities. Thanks again Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you found this to be a good fit Tim - really nice to hear!

[@webtoonvid]

I bought the Horrified game, But the instructions didn't help at all! I watched this video and instantly understood. Thank u! (:

[@WatchItPlayed]

So nice to know the video was helpful!

[@FrankMinogue]

Oh my goodness, classic movie monsters? Villagers? Oh yeah. This is a keeper!! Definitely a great looking game!!!! I lived on these movies as a kid!!!! I love it!!!!

[@kennyforthun]

This helped out a lot. You explained details I didn't understand in the instructions or other tutorial videos. Thank you.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

[@joshuahurdle239]

I love your videos man, they make board gaming that much easier and fun. I like how you explain how to play a game without being long winded or overly explaining the rules unless it's a complicated rule. Even if a game has an official how to play video, I always check to see if you've covered it first.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly Joshua!

[@gylisnotcool9980]

This game is so intimidating when you first play, as there is so many details and all of them specific! This video was incredibly helpful to teach me and my boyfriend how the game is suppose to be played, and gave us a general idea of each of the pieces that come with it! Thanks so much, we’ll be looking at this channel each time we get a new game from now on!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey, very glad to hear this was helpful - modern board games can feel a little overwhelming at first, but there is a lot of fun waiting for you, once you get a handle on the rules. Good luck saving the village from all those monsters :)

[@mrbastos]

just picked up my copy for a bday present to myself. Super excited to play it. Reminds me of Pandemic, but different enough to have both. Really excited, and hopefully they release more monsters with interesting ways to defeat them.

[@trojan403]

I just got it for my birthday last week 🎂 Cant wait to give it a go 😁

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you had fun playing!

@@WatchItPlayed I was not complaining in the slightest. In fact, I'm impressed.

[@Ralsar]

Thanks for this. Got me up and running quick. Really surprised how well this game works. The fun factor is strong with this one.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Really nice to know you enjoyed it!

[@briab03]

these were very clear instructions and took the stress out of playing the game for the first time - everything was 100% clear. A fantastic game.

The wife and I really enjoy playing this game. Great tutorial.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Explanation done very well! I'm a fan of Universal monsters. I will certainly buy it to play with my family. Thanks! 👍👏

[@WatchItPlayed]

That is so very nice of you to take the time to say!

[@Oddyellano]

Thanks, Rodney, for demonstrating how to play. I find it helpful to both watch a demonstration as well as read the instructions, and, of course, learning by actually playing the game. Thanks, again!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - glad this was helpful!

[@elmodiddly]

Having bought Horrified to start my journey into solo play and maybe with friends, (if I can find any! 🤨) this is by far the best guide on this game that I have found. Whilst this vid was 5 years ago it is still relevant today with excellent and well thought out explanations. Thank you for your work. I wonder how many takes it took to get that introduction right? 😃

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - have a great time playing Horrified! I'm setting up a game to play solo later today myself :)

[@Mark-OutWest]

Don't you just love it when the instructions say right on the cover learn how to play and go to our video and then there's no video there. Great job ravensburger. Now I'm here trying to learn.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Mark, I went to the link on the rulebook cover, which redirect me right to here, and when I scrolled down, this video was linked there.

[@22gjreyes]

Every time I liked a game reviewed by Tom Vasel, I knew you will have a how to play it video. Great explanation as always.

[@damondorsey2974]

This is my first "How to Play" video and it was awesome. Thanks so much. Very clearly presented and fun to watch. This will now be my first stop whenever I want to buy a new game.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm getting this for my dad as a Christmas gift because he played a mummy on TV. I'm worried that it might take a while for us to learn the rules, but I think it'll be great!

I hope he likes the gift! I'm sure he'll enjoy playing it with you, and maybe you can both watch the video and learn it together. Merry Christmas!

Thank you!! My girlfriend and I ayed this last night and you just cleared up some rules for us!! Next game night will be easier now

[@ginjago]

It always surprises me just how fast the creature from the black lagoon moves compared to the other monsters. If he also happens to be the frenzied monster, it's a NIGHTMARE.

[@howfatalcanitbe]

ideal game for me and my 6 year old daughter. She loved the theme and remained involved and excited the whole time.

I have 14yo twin girls and we love coop games, heaps better for everyone if you all win or all lose, working together to win is great and if you don't have any coop games then highly recommend that you get some. We got Horrified for Xmas and have played 5 games, so far we are 2 and 2. With the last game being won by the monsters in a very short period of time. Horrified is now our favorite coop game. So after playing the 4 games we have now watched this video, Rodney is very good at describing the game, thanks mate.

Thumbs down are because someone has to be a downer Debbie. I don't get it either, like what more/less would you like from this channel? If you have a problem find a different how to play channel...

[@TheManofDew]

Looks like a fun game. I especially like the monster theme and seems light enough for me & my kiddos.

[@RubyWish]

It's a good fit for families, especially because it's cooperative, so younger kids can get some guidance from the other players. You can also let them pick which Hero they want to be, if they like a certain ability.

[@Sam-vk8xd]

This game looks great. That art is so inviting. You’re on fire Rodney! How do you find the time to get all these learned, played, recorded and then edited and uploaded?
