Board Games to Play for Halloween

You know Darlings, don't you hate it when your parents tell you not to play any more video games? I know I did. But sometimes we had to or when we grow up, we have so many guests and want to play a game but we have nothing to go with. Luckily I have a few suggestions to make the nights fun this Halloween. Here are some of the games I suggest to play on Halloween.

Betrayal at House on the Hill: This Board game is a Haunted House exploration game. You play as one of 6 characters and go searching a Haunted Mansion to find out about the paranomal events going on. However, later on in the game, one of you is a traitor hoping to let evil win. Can you and your friends stop the traitor and win the game? This is a fun me vs them game added with the board is actual tiles so you have to proceed from Room to Room and that the mansions structure changes every game and also you have 3 floors to choose from as well. Also there are 50 scenarios to play through so no two games that you play in your lifetime will be the same. It's replayablility is numerous and fun and a great RPG board game to experience.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Edition of Munchkin: For you see right now, as I continue this list. There is another game with such haunting, you get the gist. So with Munchkin, a game like Dungeons and Dragons, has a movie theme of Halloween shenanigans. You level yourself up and go against all, and ally and betray your friends after all. It's seems pretty easy to level up to ten, but when everyone else can the real fun is with who levels up when. You can escape stronger foes if you try, but don't roll a 5 or 6 and you might be the first to die. Friends can come and help when for pleasure, but almost always, they'll ask for the treasure. For once you defeat enemies, a bounty awaits. Just make sure you get the most to not suffer crueler fates. The Nightmare Before Christmas munchkin is easy and fun. Play with your friends for a good challenge for each one.

The Arkham Horror Games: These series of Board Games include Elder Sign (which I own), Arkham Horror, Mansions of Madness, and Eldritch Horror. Each of these games makes you play from a group of investigators to solve conundrums and scenarios involving the Cthulu Mythos. Be warned for if you take too much damage or go insane, you have to get a new investigator but this one of those board games where if chaos is unleashed, everyone loses. So you all have to plan accordingly. One mistake could cause you the game. So instead of most board games where you fight to win, you have to communicate with one another and plan accordingly. It's not easy but it can be done. Just be lucky unlike the rest of Cthulu Mythos, you can actually defeat the Great Old Ones. Usually 1-8 players can play most of these games.

Mysterium: This is a game where you find out who killed a ghost and you play the mediums hoping to solve the case. This is another board game where either you all win, or the game wins. Similar to clue, you have to find out who killed one of your teammates (they're the ghost) in which room and what weapon. But they can only communicate from a bunch of pictures and pictures can feature all sorts of things from the descriptive to the abstract. See what your teammate is trying to communicate with you. It's a fun twist on clue and requires making things very cryptic but if you know someone well, they'll be able to help you out. Also, I'll add Clue to this because well, its another murder mystery game but you guys have played it before.

Cthulu Fluxx: Another game with a theme, Cthulu Fluxx is another game where either you can win individually, another person wins, or the game wins. You all pick a card play a card each round. Sounds easy right? But everyone can play rules to change the rules every time. Thus the game is called Fluxx because it's a word meaning change. Nothing is certain but change. This version of Fluxx is fun even though you have evil entities once again trying to kill you. But have fun with it!

Cards Against Humanity: Because you need to curse and Halloween can add to screwed up things. Plus it's politically incorrect fun!

Happy Board Gaming Darlings!
