Each year comes by, each year I realize again I'm just really not that into board games. I feel bad, because these board games nominated year are beautiful, in both aesthetics and in their gameplay, rich in detail & lore that immerses the player in a world the same way a video game or good film does. Seeing in actual action, it just does not compel to approach further. Instead, I will appreciate the artistry that goes into the board game instead. Horrified is a board game based upon the classic Universal Monsters, and these guys seriously look great anywhere in any setting, and Horrified is included in that. Though I find some of the miniatures to be a little cheesy in their coloring, they're still sculpted well, and the rest of the art direction from the immensely cool character mats to the Gothic-styled board more than make up for some coloring. In gameplay, you play as a hero villager fighting against the monsters, moving around the board as both monsters and heroes make their movies. There's a terror meter that rises throughout the game, and the game becomes a tense race against the clock as monsters and villagers face off throughout the board. There's obviously a lot more depth to it, but nothing I really need to explain further. It's a cool looking game, but board games... yeah, they just don't grab me like other pursuits do.
