Horrified: Krampus is an expansion for Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons released in 2024 for 1–5 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Prospero Hall and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Point to Point Movement.
Horrified: Krampus is a special single monster addition for either Horrified: Greek Monsters or Horrified: World of Monsters. The monsters of Horrified have begun to roam! Do you dare to face off against Krampus, the demon of the season? St. Nicholas and the Children are scattered around the board. They function as citizens or legends but are unique in that they are ignored by all Monsters except Krampus who can see them for what they are... St Nicholas and a bunch of naughty naughty children. Krampus is a level 5 frenzy monster out to capture them! As Heroes your job is to gather the Children safely around St. Nicholas. If Krampus defeats St. Nicholas or any Children the Terror Level will rise, and they will be held hostage in Krampus’s bag until freed. Once all Children are safely under St. Nicholas’ protection you may attempt to defeat Krampus. Follow instructions in Horrified: World of Monsters to learn about combining some Horrified sets. Prepare to be Ho… Ho… Horrified!
