"Embarrassingly, I haven't played any of the previous versions of Horrified and had passed on them, figuring the themes weren't a fit for my family. But it was a game I've recommended to friends who enjoy the Horrified themes and enjoy lighter cooperative games. Enter the Dungeons and Dragons version and suddenly I was enthralled, as if under a spell. Dungeons and Dragons will always have a special place in my gaming heart as it was my first interest in gaming."
"Gameplay Overview: Like the other Horrified games, you'll start by picking two monsters to battle against. The choices are Beholder, Displacer Beast, Mimic, and Dragon, and each has their own unique setup instructions and is a unique challenge to defeat. Each player will also pick a character and place their standee in their starting location. Players will have four actions to take on their turn, which they can do the following:"
"Move one space also moving citizens with you Guide one citizen from your location to an adjacent one or from an adjacent space to your space Pick up any number of item tokens in your location Share or exchange items with heroes in your location Advance uses items to make progress on a monster's challenge Defeat uses one or more items to defeat a Monster"
Dungeons & Dragons-themed Horrified integrates iconic D&D monsters like Beholder, Displacer Beast, Mimic, and Dragon into cooperative Horrified mechanics. Players select two monsters to face and choose heroes, placing standees on starting locations. Each hero has four actions per turn: move, guide citizens, pick up items, share or exchange items, advance monster challenges using items, defeat monsters using items, reveal lairs, and use a special d20-based ability. Monsters have unique setups and behaviors that pose distinct challenges; the Mimic wanders and consumes items, adding resource pressure. The D&D theme provides nostalgic RPG flavor while keeping gameplay accessible and family-friendly.
