Gave Horrified to my wife for her Birthday.
The premise is that old Universal studios monsters are attacking a village. The heroes need to get the villagers to safety and find a way to defeat each monster. Monsters are invulnerable until the secret behind their destruction (say the Mummy, Dracula, Invisible Man) or their neutering (Wolfman, Frankenstein & Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon) are discovered. Too many villagers die and the Monsters win. Take too much time, and the Monsters win.
This is a mass-market game and thus relatively inexpensive. Components are not as high quality as a game costing 2x to 3x as much - but the game has pretty easy rules, is fun, and is advertised for 10+ - which means a smart 2nd Grader could join in. The game has a quick set-up and does not take forever to play.
As normal for my wife games, this is a cooperative game of the players versus the monsters.
I'll try to give a follow-up after we have completed several games.
Is that a board game or a tabletop roleplaying game?
I thought we were talking about the death metal/grindcore album by Repulsion. :(
