What to Expect
You take on the role of a hero from one of five iconic D&D classes and cooperate to defeat four new, mechanically distinct monsters: Carrionette, Gulthias Tree, Baba Lysaga, and Strahd von Zarovich. Play alternates between a hero phase—moving point-to-point, guiding villagers and picking up items—and a monster phase where foes wreak havoc. Each monster presents a unique puzzle the group must solve before terror overwhelms them.
Who Is This Game For?
For fans of cooperative games and D&D settings; the game fits a gamer/enthusiast audience and rewards team coordination. With an estimated 60-minute playtime it suits regular game nights; solo play is supported. New players with prior cooperative-game experience will adapt faster.
How It Works
Horrified uses Action Points, Dice Rolling and Point-to-Point Movement: during hero turns players spend action points to move, take items and deliver them (Pick-up and Deliver). In the monster phase creatures act and disrupt plans. Variable Player Powers and Variable Set-up change starting conditions and add replayability. The title supports both cooperative multiplayer and solitaire play.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Peter Lee and Nick Tourville, this entry brings the Horrified series into the Ravenloft D&D setting and uses miniatures/standees. It merges Horrified’s established phase-based structure with D&D’s iconic monsters and classes.
Pro
- Phase-based cooperative gameplay with distinct hero and monster turns (Cooperative Game)
- D&D-themed monsters and classes tie the license into gameplay
- Includes solo rules for 1 player (Solo / Solitaire Game)
- Variable set-up and player powers increase replay value
Contra
- Requires coordination and explanation for new groups
- Miniatures and thematic focus may appeal more to collectors/genre fans
Setting & atmosphere
The game is set in the Ravenloft Dungeons & Dragons setting and centers on Barovia and its signature threats. Theme and monsters come directly from the Ravenloft horror milieu.
Tips for beginners
In early games, focus on clear communication and role division; use the turn structure to build familiarity with each monster's demands.
