Chill: Black Morn Manor is a board game released in 1985 for 2–6 players, 120 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Troy Denning and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Variable Set-up, and Tile Placement.
Players lay tiles to build Black Morn Manor, where an evil Master resides.

One player starts as a Minion, who attempts to find the influence item and remove it from the grounds.
