Make your next game night even CREEPIER: Spin some tales and dig some graves in this ghoulish storytelling game!
Welcome to Creepshow, a wicked story-building game where players become Creeps and weave twisted tales where dastardly deviants meet well-earned demises. You’ll need strategy and cunning for this game, and to know when to push your luck because deception could be waiting at every turn. Creeps create chains of story cards and secretly fill them with Suspense. At key moments in the story, when tension is highest, Creeps can bet on the amount of Suspense to score big. But beware of other Creeps sabotaging the story, you just may lose your head!
The game includes 54 Story Cards, 9 Ending Cards, 34 Double Sided Point Tokens, and 5 Reference Cards. Creepshow: The Suspense Building Game was designed by Skybound and features artwork from various designers from the Skybound original comic book anthology of the same name.
Creepshow: The Suspense-Building Game retails for $19.99 and is recommended for ages 14+. Buy now here.
