Last Friday

A slasher movie as a board game: hide as the killer or survive as one of the campers.

A slasher movie, played out on a board. One of you is the undying killer lurking in the shadows of the forest, moving in secret. The others are young campers trying to survive a long weekend of terror, and, if they get the chance, to hit back. Over four chapters, from arrival at the camp through the chase to the massacre and the final showdown, the roles shift: the hunter becomes the prey, then returns from the dead looking for revenge. It is a hidden-movement and deduction game with teams, memory and card-driven campaign elements. Two to six players, and the best experience comes with a full table. Expect about two hours and a body count.

Who it's for

You love slasher films and want a hidden-movement showdown for a full table, with a group that enjoys screaming and scheming.

Not for you if…

You dislike horror themes or want a short game. This is a two-hour campaign with a nasty tone and a lot of tension.

Vibe's take

Tense, theatrical and a bit silly in the best horror-movie way. The roles shift across four chapters, so the mood changes from nervous exploring to a full panic.
