The month of October is upon us, or as my boss said, “Happy Halloween month!” If you’re looking for some great horror-themed board games to play this month leading up to Halloween, we’ve got you covered here at Unfiltered Gamer.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll start with a few family friendly games, then delve into the darker horror themes later on!<\/span><\/p>\n

Haunt the House<\/h2>\n

Haunt the House by Kids Table Board Gaming (KTBG) is a 2-4 player game for ages 8+. In Haunt the House, players play as ghosts trying to scare away the ghost hunters. It is a shorter, family-friendly game, taking about half an hour to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twisting the role of the players to be the frighteners, instead of the frightened, helps ghosts seem like something less scary and more relatable. Also, many of the game pieces glow in the dark, which adds a fun bit of whimsy for a crisp, fall evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lucidity<\/h2>\n

Lucidity has been on a lot of our tops and favorites lists since it launched on Kickstarter last year, and in addition to having great mechanics, the game has a cool factor that elevates it in the horror theme space.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a push your luck style game, with beautiful and terrible dice. If\/when you bust, you become a nightmare with special powers, and you still have a chance to win!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ages 14+, the deluxe version of the game came with two art styles, one more kid-friendly, and one darker. It plays 1-4 players and takes about half an hour to play, sometimes less!<\/span><\/p>\n
