Horrified: American Monsters is a cooperative board game for 1-5 players that was first released in 2021. The game is designed by Prospero Hall and published by Ravensburger. It is a well-designed game that's easy to learn. This game has great production quality, a vibrant look, and multiple difficulty levels. It can also be played as a solo adventure. The rules from Horrified: American Monsters are basically taken verbatim from the original Horrified. If you're familiar with the original Horrified, save yourself some time and just read up on the monster section in the rules for this game. This time you face The Jersey Devil, Mothman, Chupacabra, The Banshee of the Badlands, The Mothman, and The Ozark Howler. (they called it "American Monsters," not "U.S. Monsters") A new map with a refreshed layout and unique monsters offer new (and actually fun) challenges. The gameplay is quite straightforward: players must move around the town collecting items and weapons that can be used to defeat the monsters. Each monster has unique abilities and weaknesses, and players must use strategy to figure out the best way to defeat them. One of the strengths of Horrified: American Monsters is its theming and presentation. The game board, player pieces, and monster miniatures are all beautifully designed and well-crafted, capturing the classic horror movie aesthetic perfectly. Cooperation is definitely needed to defeat these beasts. Communication is essential and sometimes unconventional choices will work the best. But despite the great gameplay of cooperative play, the reason to purchase this game is for its solo mode. It excels. The rules are nearly identical to cooperative ones, with only a few changes needed. When playing solo, the rules have you playing as a single investigator, but try using a pair, it works so well. (think Skully and Muldaur). You probably will never go back to playing as a single investigator again. Its replayability is also high because of the different monster combinations and difficulty levels that can be chosen. Above all, it’s the feel of the game that matters, and this has more of a sense of place than the original. The risks of losing are just as great as ever, and the monsters can be every bit as terrifying as the movie villains of the main game. The combinations of unique monsters and random elements will make each play experience completely unique, and allows for a wide range of challenges. Overall, Horrified: American Monsters is a fun and challenging game that is well worth playing, especially if you are a fan of solo/cooperative board games and/or classic horror movies. Get this game. You will be glad you did.

Amo este juego, me gusta que la dinámica sea todos contra los monstruos. Es un poquito complicado entender las dinámicas, pero una vez lo comprendes se pone muy divertido. Vale 100% la pena pintar las figuras a tu gusto.

We bought this game for our family after playing the Classic Monster version at a friend's house. It takes some time to set up and learn the rules (each monster has its own rules based on their mythology), but very fun to play. The quality of the game pieces and game play is high quality. We did purchase the D and D and the Classic Monster version for friends. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys cooperative games to check this out.
