Modern social games can be grouped in several ways. Based on theme / theme (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Abstract, etc.) and game mechanics / gameplay (deck construction, bluff, dice, etc.). The fanatic likes to play anything but there is always something that is a bit closer to his heart. For example, I like to cultivate raw materials and build empires, but where I really feel, horror role plays, where we embody a certain character on a board in an awesome world. In my new enthusiasm I recently bought one of these games I would like to introduce you to.

Earlier, beside H. P. Lovecraft, we looked at people's "risky" struggle against the enormous power of the elders (Elder Sign board game), where if we can't overcome it, we shut it off from our world or keep in deep sleep to avoid being a threat. This time, however, I show you a game where people are lost. The time has expired, and the elders have come to the world.

As I have written, Howard Phillips Lovecraft has been influenced by many co-writers, video games and films over the years. Her legacy has been playing role-playing, books and, of course, board games! In the face of the upcoming horrors, let's see one more closely!

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown"

H. P. Lovecraft

Perhaps the most famous quote from Lovecraft. But who was he and why am I talking about it on a games website? Those who know the answer will probably smile in front of the screens (stupid question!), But those who don't, I'll open their eyes now because something is going on! Something that's not of this world!

Many literary works give the theme and play the idea of Hell. The realm of guilty souls where they are who did not live a decent life before their death. Dante's Divine play was the first one to divide her into circles and bunks, according to the Sovereignty of Satan. This has since been recaptured in countless media outlets. But in the next game, the heroes are not going to Hell, but Hell comes to them!

Anyone who lives under the attic / stove and is fed from a handbag may have missed the news that a new release has come out a few weeks ago, a new basic box, all new.

I have summarized some of the new releases, mostly beginners, starters and 8th publishers. Do not read KMCS for the time being, because it just confuses them. At least if you're as 2-bit as I am.

Zombie Hunting Report From Belle's Diary - It's Halloween!

They say there is a day in the year when the otherwise impenetrable boundary between the spirit world and the physical world ceases to exist. The souls of the dead can all return to our real plane plane for a last desperate walk. I wouldn't be surprised if it really was. The carcasses of the dead are still walking around here at twenty-four.

Zombie Hunting Report - That's a tower

They locked us. We could not run away. The district swirled all over the zombies. There was a way left for us. Up! There was a giant radio tower in the street. It is enclosed by a two-storey, massive fence. It did not work, but with a control panel we opened the electric doors, which allowed us to run for help and then return to the radio tower where the helicopter could pick us up. But for the key to the tower gate we had to go deep! To the bottom of a cellar.
