Universal ’s architectural plan for a “ Dark Universe ” of films connecting all its monstersmay be kaput , but there ’s unexampled life-time in the franchise withLeigh Whannell ’s recently - announced Invisible Man labor . And thanks to a new table secret plan , you’re able to presently build your own shared universe of freak on your burnt umber table .
Horrified : Universal Monsters comes with the tag line “ The Stakes Have Been Raised , ” which presumably also means literal stakes , since one of the fauna that role player make together to defeat is Dracula . However , the gang ’s mostly all here ; in plus to the bloodsucking Count , the secret plan do with “ mellow - quality sculpted miniature ” of Frankenstein , the Bride of Frankenstein , the Wolf Man , the Mummy , the Invisible Man , andthe tool from the Black Lagoon . ( Sorry , Lon Chaney superfans , there ’s noPhantom of the Opera or Quasimodo . )
A mini - sized posse of Universal horror all - stars is reasonableness enough to clean up Horrified , but the Ravensburger release is first and foremost a scheme game , where 2 - 5 players ( years 10 and over ) work out together to take down each monster . While that essentially intend that thespian are the equivalent of pitchfork - and - torch - have villagers , the small town in question is being plague by seven iconic monsters , so you may kind of understand the need for tool - vote down teamwork .
In the motion-picture show , the behemoth normally have very dear reasons for being spend a penny off — the Mummy ’s stress to win back his long - lose love ; the tool does n’t take kindly to scientists stab around his watery den ; the Bride is terrified at the mere thought process of being alive — but presumptively the biz will up the menace while also teaching players more about repugnance - movie history .
Horrified : Universal Monsters will hit shelves August 1 , and it ’ll retail for $ 34.99 .
