From East Bay Gamers Guild - Board Game Nights

Game night returns after a short hiatus. ... Well we have some sad news. Triple Rock, one of our game night hangs for almost 10 years....is closing down. This will be our last game night there and its a tad bittersweet. Of course its spooky season, so were having our annual Spooky Games Galore! Plz bring any spooky themed games you have.....or dont and come play ours! We'll have some great games coming out! Making its game night debut, Gabi will be hosting DEEP REGRETS! An unfortunate fishing game about pulling progressively more horrifying things out of the ocean. Decide what to eat, what to sell, what to mount, and how many regrets you're willing to carry, as you push yourself too far and spiral towards a conclusion in this strategic horror fishing game. All the while trying not to succumb to madness! Fernie will be hosint BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL. A tile game that allows players to lay out the haunted house room by room, tile by tile, creating a new game board every time. The game is designed for three to six people, each of whom plays one of six possible characters. Players explore the haunted house, gathering items and discovering secrets, until one of the characters triggers a haunt and a monster hunts the rest of the party. The innocent members of the party must defeat the monster in their midst before the monster gets them! And Mike will be hosting GHOST STORIES! Ghost stories is a cooperative game in which the players protect the village from incarnations of the lord of hell – Wu-Feng – and his legions of ghosts before they haunt a town and recover the ashes that will allow him to return to life. Each Player represents a Taoist monk working together with the others to fight off waves of ghosts. DEEP REGRETS - cthulu-esque fishing game BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL-betray your friends and become the enemy GHOST STORIES - hold back the demonic ghosts as taoist monks KING OF TOKYO: HALLOWEEN EDITION -- monsters in costumes fighting MYSTERIUM PARK — solve a ghostly murder at a carnival.
