Each night from Sunday, October 26 to Saturday, November 1, we’re diving into different spooky, monstrous, and legendary themes with carefully chosen board games. Whether you love battling zombies, saving the world from outbreaks, or confronting kaiju, there’s something here for you.

Sunday, October 26 – Zombie Apocalypse

The week kicks off with shambling hordes and survival horror.

Zombie Dice – A fast-paced push-your-luck game where players roll dice to represent brains, shotgun blasts, and footsteps. Eat as many brains as you can without getting blasted away! Perfect for quick laughs, this 10-minute game works for 2+ players and is endlessly replayable.

Dead of Winter – A cooperative survival game where players must endure a zombie-infested winter colony. You’ll need to balance completing objectives with keeping your survivors alive, all while dealing with possible traitors in your midst. It plays in 60–120 minutes for 2–5 players, offering nail-biting drama every session.

Pandemic – Though not strictly about zombies, this classic cooperative game of disease control fits the apocalyptic theme perfectly. Players become specialists working to contain outbreaks across the globe. It plays in about 45 minutes for 2–4 players, and victory requires teamwork and careful planning.

Monday, October 27 – From the Stars

Cosmic mysteries and interstellar threats take the spotlight.

The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 – Based on the cult sci-fi horror film, players must work together to complete missions while paranoia spreads about who may be secretly “infected.” With 4–8 players and 60–120 minutes of play, it combines deduction, mistrust, and cinematic tension.

Moon Rabbit – A lighter, whimsical game of growth and balance with a celestial theme. Players cultivate resources and use clever strategy to guide their rabbit toward prosperity. Best for 2–4 players, with a playtime of 30–45 minutes, it’s a charming contrast to the night’s darker games.

Conquest of Planet Earth – A campy alien invasion game where players either work together or compete as alien races bent on conquering humanity. With 1–4 players and about 60 minutes of play, it mixes dice rolling, quirky scenarios, and thematic flair.

Tuesday, October 28 – Kaiju

Monstrous titans battle for dominance.

King of Tokyo Duel – A head-to-head version of the beloved dice-rolling monster brawl. Two players compete for control of Tokyo, rolling dice to attack, heal, and power up. With quick 15–20 minute play sessions, it’s a thrilling showdown of giant monsters.

Apex Theropod Deck-Building Game – A thematic deck-builder where players take on the role of dinosaur species struggling to survive extinction. You’ll evolve, hunt, and fight against other apex predators. For 1–6 players, games run about 45–90 minutes, blending strategy with prehistoric ferocity.

Rampage (a.k.a. Terror in Meeple City) – A dexterity-based game where players flick, drop, and blow on monster pieces to demolish a cardboard city. For 2–4 players in about 30 minutes, it’s chaotic fun as you literally smash your way through meeple-filled buildings.

Wednesday, October 29 – Monster’s Lair

Explore dungeons, face monsters, and hunt treasure.

Vast: The Crystal Caverns – An asymmetric dungeon crawl where each player takes on a wildly different role: the Knight, the Goblins, the Dragon, the Thief, or even the Cave itself. Designed for 1–5 players with 60–120 minutes of play, it’s one of the most unique and replayable adventure games.

Clank! – A deck-building adventure game where you sneak into a dragon’s lair to steal treasure. But make too much noise and the dragon might notice you! For 2–4 players, games last around 45–90 minutes and balance risk-taking with clever strategy.

Horrified – A cooperative game where players band together to defeat classic movie monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman. For 1–5 players, it runs 45–60 minutes and offers variable setups that keep each game fresh.

Thursday, October 30 – Save Our Souls

The world hangs in the balance.

Pandemic – Once again, humanity faces devastating outbreaks, and it’s up to you and your team to contain the chaos. Its tense, time-pressured mechanics perfectly fit tonight’s theme of desperate heroics.

The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 – The paranoia returns, challenging players to work together while second-guessing everyone’s motives. Trust no one in this repeat appearance—it’s a different experience every time.

Dead of Winter – Another chance to survive the snow, the zombies, and your fellow colonists. Returning tonight, this game adds even more to the tension of survival.

Friday, October 31 – Quick Frights

Short, punchy games for Halloween night.

Zombie Dice – Return to brain-eating mayhem in this fast-paced favorite, a perfect fit for quick bursts of fun before candy breaks.

Tsuro of the Seas – Navigate treacherous waters as you lay down path tiles for your ship. With 2–8 players and about 20–40 minutes of play, the game is simple to learn yet full of surprising twists, especially when sea monsters come into play.

King of Tokyo Duel – Another night of head-to-head kaiju combat, perfect for fast, fun, and frantic showdowns.

Saturday, November 1 – Myths and Legends

The week closes with fantasy and folklore.

Moon Rabbit – Our celestial rabbit hops back into play, shining in this night of mythology and tales. Its simple yet clever strategy remains a highlight for families and casual players alike.

Elfenroad – A fantasy racing game where players use spells and magical creatures to traverse landscapes and reach distant cities. For 2–6 players, with playtime around 60–120 minutes, it offers a rich blend of planning and flexibility.

Dragon’s Interest – A treasure-hoarding card game where players tempt fate to impress a powerful dragon. For 2–6 players with 20–40 minutes of play, it’s fast, interactive, and dripping with fantasy flavor.
