Grind House: Krampus is an expansion for Grind House released in 2020 for 2–6 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 15 and up. It was designed by Jon Cohn and Steven Ambrose Wesel and its main mechanics are Player Elimination, Dice Rolling, and Team-Based Game.
It's Christmas at the Grind House, and instead of the Host, the game is being run by Krampus, and everybody is on his naughty list. This Kickstarter-exclusive mini-expansion brings new Christmas themed personas (like Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, Frosty, and Elves!) and items (Weird Xmas Gifts!), as well as terrifying trials in the all-new thematic rooms.
Grind House: Krampus supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Grind House: Krampus is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Grind House: Krampus for ages 15 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Grind House: Krampus belongs to these categories: Card Game, Dice, and Horror. Its main mechanics are Player Elimination, Dice Rolling, and Team-Based Game.

The credited designers of Grind House: Krampus are: Jon Cohn and Steven Ambrose Wesel.

The catalogue lists Grind House: Krampus as an expansion for Grind House. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Grind House to use it. Check that your edition of Grind House is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
