Pandasaurus’ New Board Game Nyctophobia Has You Stumbling In The Darkness

February 27, 2018 by brennon

Pandasaurus Games are going to be bringing a new board game out soon which has you going back into the woods of those slasher movies from the 80s. The concept of Nyctophobia sounds very cool indeed...

The game will plonk you in the midst of a forest where an axe-wielding maniac is hunting you down. You, as the players, will be blindfolded and you need to work your way through the woods, find the car, and get out of there alive!

It seems like this could be one of the tensest tabletop experiences out there as you desperately try to stay away from the Hunter. The Hunter, incidentally, is controlled by a player with a deck of cards. These cards dictate their choice of actions and offer up interesting tactical options for them as they try to corner the Hunted.

If you'd like to see more of the game in action you can check out their BLOG here.

Watch out for them at your local gaming conventions as this seems like it could be a blast to play.

Do you like the basic concept of this game?
