Discover the Hauntingly Fun World of Board Games this Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with some spooky board games? Board games provide a unique and interactive experience that can bring friends and family together for a night of fun and laughter. Whether you're hosting a Halloween party or just looking for a way to spend a cozy evening indoors, board games are the perfect choice. Let's dive into 5 chilling board games perfect for your Halloween gaming! 

1. BOOoop.

An adorably sneaky, surprisingly difficult & SPOOPY abstract strategy game for 2 players. 

Your goal in BOOoop is to arrange three feline friends in a purrfect line on the bed to claim victory. Begin by placing adorable kittens on the cozy bed.

Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes “boop.” Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten next to it one space away. You must say "boop" every time you boop some kittens. Line up 3 kittens in a row to graduate them into cats... and then, get 3 cats in a row to win.

But it's not a walk in the park with both you AND your opponent constantly “booping” kittens around. It’s like... herding cats!

BOOoop introduces a newer, boopier, and spoopier mechanic. 
NEW Ghost Cats float between the spaces, so scary, cats will leap right over each other to get away!

  • Approachable but challenging abstract game following the incredible success of the original "boop" as a limited seasonal game.
  • Features a new quilted, fabric board that lays over the back of the box, completing the minature bed playing surface. 34 adorable wood cat and kitten playing pieces!
  • NEW Ghost Cats can boop cats over other pieces as they move across the board between spaces.

2. Shadowgate: The Living Castle

Five to find, three are one. One gives access, the Bladed Sun.The Silver Orb, to banish below. The Staff of Ages, to vanquish the foe. Joining two, the Golden Thorn. The last to invoke, the Platinum Horn.

Shadowgate The Living Castle is a 2-4 player board game inspired by the epic video game Shadowgate. In this game, you'll venture into the mystical castle, Shadowgate, unearthing ancient relics, mastering powerful spells, and fulfilling legendary quests.

Choose from eight unique characters with their own class, traits, and abilities. Harness their power and compete for XP (experience points). With every item you equip, quest you conquer, djinn riddle you solve, and monster you vanquish, you earn XP! Compete with fellow adventurers to assemble the legendary Staff of Ages. Only then can you face off against the Warlock Lord, complete the prophecy, and become the High Lord of the Westland!
