Free Games to Scare You!

It’s time to add to your Halloween fun! Here are a few of free Print ‘n Play games to get your blood pumping. You have to register at the Game Goblin site, and use a cart to check them out, but they are free and it is a cool site with a bunch of games to print and play.

Here’s the scariest games they have that might just eat your brains:

Dead of Night

Dead of Night is a 1 to 6 player game based on scenarios you might recognize from various zombie films. There is no ‘Zombie Master’ here: all the players are on the same side, all working together to survive, although the option to use other players as zombie bait while you grab all the guns and lock yourself in the cellar is there if you prefer. Either way, you will need to use strategy and your (fresh and spicy) brains as well as chainsaws and shotguns to make it through the night. Each scenario has a location to be explored, and an objective to be fulfilled, but if things don’t go well just survival may be enough. Cards drawn throughout the game may help or hinder your progress, but as the night draws on you can be sure things are going to get much worse before you see the sun again. The game ends when somebody fulfils the main objective (eg, escaping in a fuelled up vehicle), or at daybreak, which brings respite in the form of an advancing army patrol. If you can survive until the end of the game, you are a winner. The survivor who best fulfils their objectives will come out on top.

Zombie Plague

Somewhat reminiscent of the Dawn of the Dead board game, on one team are the humans, while on the other are the zombies. The humans race to barricade all the doors and windows, while searching the house for helpful items. The zombies, on the other hand, just want to eat those tasty humans.

Tips for zombie attack survival:

Take a good look at your loved one before you rush up to them and give them a hug.

Have a nice leather jacket you can throw on.

Don’t walk backwards without looking behind you.

Helmets prevent brain eating, unless you lose your head.

Baseball bats work against one zombie, not fifty.

Blowing their legs off may not kill them, but it sure slows them down.

Zombies freeze in colder climates, and rot faster in humid ones.

Zombie in My Pocket

Yes the original free print and play version of this fun solo zombie fighting game.

Zombie in my Pocket is a print-and-play game solo game. The game is free, fits in your pocket, and the modular board combined with the development cards make it a different game every time.

In Zombie in my Pocket, you’re searching for the secret of the evil temple where you can find the item to destroy the zombies rising from the dead. You can pick up items to bash zombies along the way; a machete, golf club, chain saw, or even your former uncle’s grisly femur.

Find the zombie totem, then bury it in the backyard graveyard before midnight and you’ve saved the world. Otherwise, you’re zombie food.
