This Popular Horror Board Game Is Getting A D&D Edition
Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons launches August 10
Dungeons & Dragons is best known as the seminal, long-running pen-and-paper RPG, but the game has also been adapted into numerous other forms over the last 50 years--including video games, novels, movies, and even other tabletop games, like the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons edition of the Horrified co-op board game. Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons takes the award-winning horror-themed cooperative strategy game and gives it a D&D twist, featuring iconic monsters like The Beholder, heroes based on D&D classes, and even updated rules that use d20 dice. The game launches August 10 for $30, and preorders are available now.
Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons is designed for 1-5 players who take on the role of one of five included heroes based on classic D&D classes: The Fighter, The Bard, The Wizard, The Rogue, and The Cleric. The party explores Undermountain Dungeon where they'll encounter D&D monsters: The Mimic, The Beholder, The Displacer, and Red Dragon. Each monster features its own replayable and customizable quests.
The box comes with everything you need to play, including a fully illustrated game mat, five monster minis, 5 hero standees, cards, tokens, dice, and more.
