Here are a couple of the spookier games that will be making an appearance at Gen Con, in time for the upcoming Halloween Gaming Season.

From Flying Frog Productions:

Last Night on Earth: Timber Peak

Escaping from the Zombie-overrun town of Woodinvale, a handful of survivors make their way up into the mountains. But as they reach the small logging and mining town of Timber Peak, they will discover that a new nightmare has just begun!

Last Night on Earth, Timber Peak is an action-packed Stand Alone Expansion for Last Night on Earth and includes everything needed to play the game. Introducing the brand new town of Timber Peak with a full set of game boards, 6 new Heroes (including 3 Survivor versions of Heroes from the original Last Night on Earth), 4 Generator objective pieces, a full set of 14 Zombies, a host of new Scenarios, rules for Fire breaking out and spreading, over 130 new game cards, and a full Experience System for both Heroes and the Zombie horde to gain upgrades within the course of each game!

Timber Peak is packed with new material for veteran players to add to their toolbox, and a fantastic way for new players to jump into the action!

A Touch of Evil: The Coast

The Coast Expansion is packed full of new material for A Touch of Evil including 4 exciting new Heroes (such as Maria De La Rosa, the Smuggler, and the renowned monster hunter, Argot Blackwell), a new full size game board of the fog-shrouded coastline to add to the main Shadowbrook board, 3 new Town Elders, and a host of new mysteries to be solved. The Coast also features tons of new game cards including decks for three new Locations to explore – The Smuggler’s Cove, Lighthouse, and the haunted Shipwreck, as well as a new town – the long cursed village of Tidewater; and much more! With 4 fearsome new Villains to hunt like The Ghost Ship, Siren, or the dreaded Dreamweaver, the Heroes must fend off deadly curses and contend with all manner of creatures from the dark depths to keep evil at bay, forcing it back into the icy waters that break along the rocky shores of The Coast.

Sanitaruim

You awaken in a cold, creepy, dark building. Unnerving sounds and sights are all around you, and a draft whistles through the clattering windows. Others are here. Will you help them escape?

You have no idea how you got here, you just want to get out…Sanitarium is a horror escape game, featuring cooperative, competitive, and solitaire rule sets. Find your Safe Things and escape… before it’s too late…

Sanitarium plays in 30-45 minutes, and is for 1 to 4 players. You can play competitively, cooperatively, or solitaire. Go nuts! Wait, don’t do that…you’ll lose. To start the game, each player is secretly dealt a number of Safe Things, which represent the items they’ll need to regain their sanity and escape this terrible, terrible place. The Sanitarium is represented by a series of hallways and rooms. Each card’s back doubles as a unexplored hallway:

As you explore, you’ll find rooms. Rooms grant you safety from the monsters that may be roaming the halls, and you’ll need to be in a room with your Safe Things to finally escape.

As you move about, you can spend action points to peek at the card you’re standing on by searching the room, and potentially take it. But of course, the shadows hide terrible things, and monsters will be roving the halls as well. Each player will both take actions moving and exploring and also move one of the monsters, potentially attacking another player (In co-operative and solitaire play, the monsters move on their own). Of course, the monster could just be a figment of their imagination, so nothing at all may happen…

Pittsburgh 68

Thrills and chills await in Pittsburgh 68, a frenzied card-n-dice game that plays like a zombie survival movie!

In Pittsburgh 68, players face an ever growing zombie problem (which they will probably end up being a part of). When a player is eliminated, they don’t stop playing – they just shuffle back in as a zombie.

A cooperative game until it’s not, Pittsburgh 68 pays homage to a time when slow moving zombies ruled!

Everything needed for play is in the box: the Shuffling Horror deck (60 cards), four six-sided dice, 60 spoints (counters), and rulebook.

Zombicide

SCIENCE! In the pursuit of ever greater levels of productivity, man has TWISTED both plants and animals to his own ENDS. In so doing, we have inadvertently changed ourselves… Now, SHAMBLING KILLING MACHINES roam the RUINS OF OUR WORLD. It is time to engage in… ZOMBICIDE!“

Take the role of a Survivor, each with unique abilities, and harness both their skills and the power of teamwork against the hordes of unthinking undead! Zombies are predictable, stupid but deadly, controlled by simple rules and a deck of cards. Unfortunately for you, there are a LOT more zombies than you have bullets…

Find weapons, kill zombies. The more zombies you kill, the more skilled you get, the more skilled you get, the more zombies appear. The only way out is Zombicide!

Play 10 scenarios on different maps made from the included modular map tiles, or create your own.

Cthulhu Fluxx

Follow the wild-eyed Poet, the obsessed Artist, and the expeditions of the Professor, as they investigate Eldritch Secrets no mortal was meant to discover. Someone has stolen the Necronomicon from the library at Miskatonic Univeristy, and a Farm in the hills is undergoing a horrifying Metamorphosis. Meanwhile, unspeakable abominations stir in Penguin-riddled Tombs beneath the ice. Are you Inevitably Doomed to a lifetime of Nightmares in the Sanitarium, or are you, in fact, a Secret Cultist, worshiping the Minions of Darkness? Gaze upon the ever- changing face of Madness with Cthulhu Fluxx!

Level 7 [Escape]

You are a captive of Subterra Bravo, imprisoned in the facility’s deepest laboratory, the hall of nightmares known as LEVEL 7. Your singular goal is to escape, but to do that you will have to evade the human and inhuman denizens of this subterranean labyrinth before the entire base is locked down, sealing you in for the rest of your short, tormented life. Will you work together with your fellow prisoners to endure Subterra Bravo’s endless perils, or will you use them to secure your own escape? Ultimately, your chances of survival will depend on how well you manage your greatest weapon, which is also your greatest threat: fear itself.

LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE] is a semi-cooperative, story-driven survival-horror board game for 1–4 players with nerves of steel and a willingness to confront the impossible.

City of Horror

City of Horror is a backstabbing survival-horror game. As in classic zombie movies, a shambling horde is invading the city. The goal is to survive the assault. (Un)fortunately, surviving often means sacrificing some of your fellow players to the undead…

Each player controls several characters with different abilities; these characters can move to various limited-capacity locations, which they can then barricade and scavenge for items and weapons. Critical situations, such as zombies breaking in and eating a character, are resolved using vote.

The basic game mechanisms are the same as in Mall of Horror (also designed by Nicolas Normandon), but City of Horror differs in both materials and game play in a number of ways: the city map changes each game, twenty characters are included, they can use antidotes (or die), action cards become scarce as the game goes on, you can gain points with other stuff than surviving characters…

Zombies!!! The Card Game

You are so tired. You just can’t run anymore. Your breath sounds like a jet engine and sweat has soaked every inch of your body. A shower would be nice. Hell, just being able to catch your breath would be great… Who are we kidding? Ten whole minutes not completely enveloped in sheer terror would be heaven. To bad the zombie horde looking to make you lunch doesn’t see it the same way…

The Zombies!!! Card Game simulates the coming zombie apocalypse in card game form. Each player uses their own deck to form the narrative of their attempted escape. The first player to make their way to the “helipad” at the bottom of their deck escapes certain death and wins the game.

The ground-breaking card design allows for each card to be used for the card effect printed on the front or as a location as indicated by the card’s back.

Zombies!!!: The Card Game features 104 intensely illustrated cards, a six-sided die and complete rules.

The zombies are right behind you. Do you have what it takes to survive?

Featuring a rich story, detailed zombies, plus solo and co-op play “If I’m Going Down…” is sure to give you a Zombie gaming experience like none you have ever experienced before.

THEY ARE COMING….
