Giant boxes can lead to epic games and this is not an exception. But just because a game has a lot of pieces, doesn’t mean it is good. It needs competent gameplay and thought out rules.

Can We Stop the Bending Card Madness?
I don’t think anyone intends to bend a card while playing board games. Who wants to intentionally “damage” someone else’s property? But are bent cards really something to be upset about?
[These 35 Games] Tsuro of the Seas
Not often does a sequel come around that adds something completely different to the game. I’m talking about something out of left field.

[These 35 Games] Mansions of Madness Second Edition
Sometimes you don’t need to specify which version of a game you play but other times it is absolutely vital. This one for example falls into that latter category. I can’t imagine playing this game any other way.
Prepare for the madness…

[These 35 Games] Room 25
I always say this is a movie board game but I don’t believe there is a movie with this title. But there is the sci-fi flick, The Cube, that this game undeniably takes its inspirations from. This is definitely not a bad thing in my book.
Step into the cube…
[These 35 Games] The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31
Is it the game or is it the source material? It is the idea of playing a The Thing board game that brings all the boys to the yard but the game has what it takes to keep everyone at the table.
Let’s go to Antarctica…so we can try to escape!

[These 35 Games] Visitor in Blackwood Groove
Time to go from hard, cooperative, and scary to easy, semi-cooperative, and light-hearted. Though saying this game is easy is a bit misleading. At least the game itself can’t win.
Hit the jump to prove the pass rule.

[These 35 Games] Eldritch Horror
To me this is a classic and a big doozy when it comes to thematic and involved board games. It may not be pulled out a lot but it matters when it finally hits the table. Just make sure you don’t have too many players or it might feel like forever.
Time for the horror…
[These 35 Games] Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters
This may be one of the cutest games I do all month of October. But don’t be deceived by that fact, there is something to be offered within this box. I am one of the many to find it. Dare I say that I hunted for it?
Let’s get that treasure!

[These 35 Games] Bloodborne
We all saw this coming. And I am using this game to kick off my “Creature Feature” month of playing/talking about only horror/scary games or games that include monsters. So this should be fun because I happen to like this game a lot and you should too!
A hunter is never alone…
