Monster Slaughter

About the game

Description from the publisher: Flip the script on 80’s horror movies with Monster Slaughter! This time, it’s your turn to hunt down and slay those insufferable teenagers who took refuge in an abandoned cabin in the woods. As the head of a family of monsters, you’ll have to carefully select in which order you’ll eliminate your victims… and then begin the slaughter! Monster Slaughter is a tactical game inspired by horror movie classics, where each players takes control of a family of three monsters: father, mother and child, each with their own stats and family power. Their objective is to scour the cabin looking for five guests, find their hiding spot and “take care” of them! Each victim hides in a pile of cards that monsters must search through to find them, gathering items and traps as they do. Once revealed, a guest’s miniature is put on the board and can be attacked! However, each player has secretly set a killing order for these guests, and killing them in order is worth more points. They can use their item cards to defend the guests against other monsters or scare the victims away to other rooms, so the guests die in a more favorable order! Monster Slaughter also comes with a scenario book, giving new objectives and special rules to make each moonless night a new experience.
