    Horrified - Full Review
    5 Stars
    Horrified - Full Review
    OVERVIEW: Horrified is a 1-5 player cooperative family board game, created in 2019, that takes an hour or two to play. Players assume the roles of heroes attempting to rescue a village from famous Universal Studios monsters, reminiscent of their classic movies. Achieving success requires dedicated communication and cooperation to manage character actions efficiently and effectively toward common goals. The game mechanics are very easy to understand and the cooperative nature of the game allows for the rules to be taught as you play. Both the player and monster turns are quick to resolve, improving the overall pacing of each game. Difficulty can be adjusted by including more monsters in the game and character special abilities offer variety, lending to the replayability factor. The theme is globally relatable to all ages, and the mechanics are easy to understand. Horrified is a cooperative  gateway game with enough depth to satisfy a middle weight game enthusiast.COMPONENTS: The game board is bright and well marked, while the cards and dice are good quality as well. The player badges, tokens, and standees are thick cardboard, but the monster mats are much thinner and flimsy. The plastic miniatures are durable, with slightly less detail than on a common RPG miniature. I upgraded my personal copy of Horrified with Funko Universal Monster Minis (photos included) which improved the table presence dramatically. The miniatures included are serviceable, but shorter and less dramatic in comparison.SCALABILITY: Although the game allows for five players, any more than three can complicate strategies quickly. The turn pacing is relatively fast, but monsters act after every player. This can thrust a player into danger multiple times before having the ability to react. Solo play or two players is ideal, but three players can succeed with communication and dedication towards common goals. Difficulty is scaled by the number of monsters included in each game, adding to the complexity of  completing each monster's mini game algorithm.SPECIAL ABILITY MECHANICS: Every character is differentiated by abilities unique to that character. These involve taking actions, moving heroes, moving villagers, and manipulating items. These abilities can be combined to have a dynamic impact on the success or failure of game objectives. Special abilities are a key part of Horrified's game variability and replayability.MONSTER MECHANIC: The monsters win if they reach the end of the Terror Track by killing Villagers and putting heroes in the hospital, or by running out of cards in the Monster Deck. The Monster Deck involves cards which indicate items and villagers to place on the board, events, and monster actions. Mosters are activated by icons that show how far they move and how many attack dice they roll. Attack dice either hit with the monster's unique attack, activate the monster's unique power, or miss. It all fits on one card and makes for a quick Monster Phase, but you only have so many cards in the deck. One monster is always designated with the Frezy Token, which can change according to the Monster Card in play. The Frenzy monster receives additional actions indicated by the current Monster Card.ITEM MECHANIC: Red, blue, and yellow items fuel the algorithm of the game. They include pitchforks, garlic, and other thematic references, but the item color and item strength are what is important to the mechanics of each situation. These are blind drawn from a drawstring bag, according to the Monster Card in play. These items can be discarded to prevent monster attacks and used to defeat the monsters. Monster attacks that succeed in killing a villager or injuring a hero advance the Terror Track.VILLAGER MECHANIC: Monster cards will occasionally place Villagers, who come out into the monster infested streets heading for a specific destination. If the monsters start killing these people you will lose. Heros can escort the villagers to safety, but it can mean going out of your way to protect them. For their effort, every hero that guides a villager to their destination successfully receives a Perk Card. Perk cards offer special bonus actions that do not require action points from that character. These Perk Cards can be played during any player's turn, but not during the monster phase.MONSTER MATS: The monsters are each driven by special rules on specific monster mats which include how they attack, their special attack, a mini game in which you advance upon the monster, and how to ultimately defeat them. The upper portion covers their Frenzy level, unique attack and special ability. The lower half includes their unique mini game that must be completed before the monster is confronted, and the conditions to finally defeat them. Players must navigate through the Black Lagoon to face the Creature in it's lair. They must destroy four coffins to corner Dracula. Players must discover the cure then administer it to the Wolfman. They must prove the existence of the Invisible Man to the police before he can be apprehended. They must solve the Mummy's sliding puzzle before he can be put to rest, and players must teach Frankenstein and the Bride about their humanity before they can fall in love and live in peace.PROS: This is a very inexpensive gateway cooperative game that is easy to learn, doesn't take much time to set up, relatable to all ages, and is well worth the cost. It is ideal for solo play and comfortable with three players. Horrified provides an hour plus of classic movie entertainment without overstaying it's welcome, yet has the versatility to offer replayability and difficulty modifications. It is the type of game that you can ask someone to help you defeat the monsters instead of challenging an opponent to a duel. It is quick to set up, easy to teach, and incredibly accessible to a wide range of players.CONS: There is very little negative I have to say about this game. The price is hard to beat considering the content and value. I think the miniatures included could be more impressive, but I personally compensated for that with Funko Universal Monster Minis. Some have argued that Horrified has a diminishing return after eliminating monsters becoming progressively easier towards the end of a game. However, the Frenzy mechanic and the diminishing Monster Deck effectively maintain pressure until the last turn in my experience. Four and five player games can be unforgiving as monsters have four or five opportunities to act between a player's turns. The mechanics can be somewhat simplistic for some seasoned gamers, but still enjoyable on some level.CONCLUSION: Horrified is an invitation for non-gamers to join the hobby. It has a relatable theme, is easy to learn, easy to set up, and not competitive. You win or lose together as a team. Horrified is a balanced puzzle similar to Pandemic but reduced in scale and game pieces. With six monster options available (The Bride and Frankenstein work together) and seven character choices, it offers a fair amount of variety and replayability. A second stand alone version called Horrified: American Monsters was released, but it is not designed to combine with this version in any way. I understand that the two games are incredibly similar with different mini games for the monsters, so owning both is only practical for die hard fans. Obviously fewer people are familiar with the Chupacabra than the Wolf-man. The original version is the game you can convince your grandparents and your mom to play. Everybody relates to these monsters and quickly become invested in the theme. Aside from upgrading my monsters with the Funko Universal Monsters Minis, I also obtained the Funko Hero World Scooby-Doo Target exclusive miniatures to replace the player standees. I find that the miniatures increase both player relatability to the characters and the tactile experience overall. The original Horrified is an easy recommendation for any novice or light to medium weight cooperative or solo strategy game enthusiast.NOTE: The photos include Funko Universal Monster Minis and Funko Hero World Scooby-Doo Minis that I upgraded my personal copy of Horrified with and are not included with the original game.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun game if you like cooperative games and don't mind cheap components
    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019
    This review might be a little long; but I hope it is helpful. Yet, if you just want the bottom line, here it is: this is a fun, easy to learn and to fun play game for the whole family, provided that (a) you like “cooperative games” and (b) you don’t mind lower quality components. Now for more details:

    In this game, each player plays as a different character (with different special abilities) trying to help a village survive attacks from any number of several “classic” monsters while trying to complete certain tasks needed to defeat the monsters. As in all cooperative games, the players play together against the game itself. They can all win by meeting the winning conditions or lose in a number of different ways. The game is similar to another cooperative game called Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu, which is excellent but which did not get a lot of attention when it came out. Reign of Cthulhu, however is a hard game and you are likely to lose more often than not. In Horrified, it is much easier to control the difficulty level and it is not difficult to win when played against certain combinations of two monsters. The game can be set to a higher difficulty level by adding monsters or by selecting the monsters that offer more of a challenge to defeat. Horrified also does a slightly better job than Reign of Cthulhu in driving the theme of the game across. There are a lot of thoughtful little details in Horrified that those of you who have watched the classic horror movies will recognize (from the names of the Villagers, to the items the players collect to defend against, and attack, the monsters, to illustrations in some of the cards, etc.) Also, not everyone is familiar with the Cthulhu stories, but everyone (even younger kids) is familiar with Frankenstein’s monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, Dracula and the other monsters in this game. A game with four players should take about one and a half hours, which I think is perfect for a family game. All in all, I have enjoyed the game and look forward to playing it again with different combinations of monsters.

    Unfortunately, the game is not perfect and the biggest negative for me is the low quality of the components. The cards are really flimsy. You will want to sleeve them if you are going to play the game a lot, which adds a cost to the cost of the game. But the most disappointing is the quality of the monsters’ mini figures. They are made of cheap molded plastic. When I opened my copy of the game, I noticed the mummy had been in the box pinned under the weight of other components and was bent over looking like it was falling over. Dracula is also bending forward a little bit (looking like he is hovering over someone with this cape). I contacted Ravensburger and they graciously agreed to send me a replacement. But because they sent it in an envelope, the poor mummy was again crushed along the way and the replacement was in even worse condition than the original (see the photo). It barely stands up. I am not going to return the game because of a crappy figure, but being a big player in the board game market, Ravensburger should know better. Lastly, with so many cardboard pieces and the fragile figures, the box really needs a good insert that would let you organize the components and keep the figures from getting crushed. I now spend a lot of attention at how I place the figures back in the box because I am afraid they will bend while the game is not in use. I own at least one other Ravensburger game, by the way, so I am not trying to pick at them. On the contrary, I am saying they are a good company (and their customer service is great) which is why I am surprised at the low quality of the components in this game which I think will be a very popular game.

    I don't mind owning both Reign of Cthulhu and Horrified, but if you already own and love Cthulhu and play it often, this one might be redundant. But if you are looking for a more accessible theme, particularly for younger players, and particularly around Halloween, you want to consider Horrified.

    The Good:
    – Great theme
    – Fun and easy to play, easy to learn
    – Good for adults and children alike
    – Just about the right length playing time
    – High replayability value because you can create different combinations of monsters to play against
    – Easy to control the difficulty level
    – Can be played solo

    The Bad:
    – Fragile monster figures
    – No box insert
    – Low quality paper cards
