    Good choices but two our family love are Horrified and Patchwork Halloween.

  • @wiriyarewatbowornwong2550

    For Gamer I vote for arkham horror LCG.

    I wish this video came little earlier, Dead of Winter looks really good. :)
    I already bought Eldritch Horror and Horrified during Prime Early Access.
    Great video!

    You guys got some great chemistry!❤️
    I have a couple of spooky games in my collection but the ones I find more appealing is Final Girl and Arkham Horror LCG 👻😈😁

      We haven't tried Final girl but have heard so many good things about it. Need to get our hand on it!

      Arkham horror the card game is one of my all time favorite games I have all the content so far and I say keep it coming.

    The Night Cage is one I’m going to be playing a lot this month with its horror theme and advance rules make it more fun and replay able.

    • @iansutton7416
      @iansutton7416 Před rokem

      yes, I think for this specific theme of halloween, this makes huge sense. It's easy to pick up, and is a remarkable example of lifting an abstract game up, by cleverly working a theme around it. It also allows for those really getting into the spirit, to go all-in with perhaps some candles/electric candles, and with the main lights turned out.

    Abomination by Plaid Hat Games is also an amazing and fun -- and gruesome -- halloween worker placement game.

  • @MsGinahidesout

    Betrayal House on the Hill. Or the Scooby-Doo version

  • @Bieranti
    @Bieranti Před rokem

    Last night on earth should be in the list. Can't endure this game any other time, but love on Halloween!

    • @BoardGameHangover

      It has been years since I played that. I should give it a go again. I remember liking it a lot.

    As always a super fun (but still spooky :D ) video from you guys !
    My personal choices for Halloween have been: Mansions of Madness, Betrayal at House on the Hill,
    AtmosFear and Dead of Winter, as you mentioned!
    I would love to play any of those with you. you two are amazing and adorable we all know that..but how dark is your dark side? :)

  • @krisjaniszviedrans9871
    @krisjaniszviedrans9871 Před rokem +2

    Flick Em Up: Dead of Winter, Dungeon Fighters, Exploding Kittens zomboe edition, Mysterium, King of Tokyo: Dark edition and Betrayal at the House on the hill and some of TIME stories scenarios or Exits would also work well for Halloween.
    The elimination was awesome!

    I've been dying to play a game called Dracula's Feast to see if it's good but haven't found it anywhere! But recently I played Horrified which reminded me a lot of the Alien game but kind of more fun in my opinion.

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem +1

      Haven't tried that one! And for sure can't go wrong with Horrified in Halloween!

    Horror or Mansions of Madness?

      We have talked about them so much already. Need something fresh

  • @iansutton7416
    @iansutton7416 Před rokem

    For a wild card, I might go 'day of the dead', something very much not a halloween game, but the theme gives a nice twist on the usual spookiness.

  • @happymaskedguy1943

    Boy, oh boy, Nemesis or Dead of Winter. Both are fantastic games and I like both of them, but Nemesis is winner for me! I'm a huge Alien fan and this game is just perfect Alien game, not even official Alien games have this atmosphere!

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem

      Overall we'd go for Nemesis as well but as Janis pointed out we've been talking about it a lot already :D

    @janisbernans6541 Před rokem

    Wow, no Cthulhu in your Halloween, I respect that, because nowadays there are so many Lovecraft-theme games that could work for Halloween.
    I still think Horrified would be the best family game for this time of the year. A bit surprised that you didn't even mention it.

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem +1

      We have talked about Chatulu games extensively on this channel so had to mix it up a bit. Horrified is a really good option for sure!

  • @fanniszathmary2266
    @fanniszathmary2266 Před rokem +1

    I love spooky games all times around the year! My choices are: Mansions of Madness (2. ed), Eldritch Horror, Cthulhu: Death May Die, Betrayal Legacy and Zombicide ^^ But I have a LOT horror games haha so I could list much more. ;)

    • @BoardGameHangover

    Love the thumbnail 😂. Always wanted to try Alice Is Missing since you guys last recommended it. But it's definitely very different from the games I usually play with my group.

    • @BoardGameHangover
      @BoardGameHangover  Před rokem +1

      You'll never know if you have the right people for it if you won't try it out. Small tip - you can take on the brother role. That player is responsible for asking questions and moving the conversation along.

    I see that some parts of the comments section might already agree with me:
    *family = Horrified
    *party = Unfathomable
    *couples = Arkham Horror LCG
    *gamers = Wonderland's War
    *wild = Exit

    • @BoardGameHangover

      Good choices all around. But I guess it would be a gamers party with Unfathomable ;)

    Great video - as usual! 😄 and you really got me giggling already at the intro! Thanx for that!
    Can’t really say that much/different about the mentioned games… but inspired by the „song part“ of the intro - and if you like another „spooky“ earworm - this time of the year I often listen to „poltergeist“ 😄 (by… Lolnein- needed to google it ^^)
    I’m usually listening mostly to 80s rock/Metal - so this doesn’t represent my usual listening habits - but maybe you might enjoy the song/video/Humor of it just as much as I do 😉
    Have a great weekend & spooky time!
