This Summer’s getting spooky with two new board games from the renowned game, toy and puzzle maker Ravensburger.

Nearly 45 years after the JAWS’ iconic shark drove millions out of the water, Ravensburger is reimagining the movie into a suspenseful board game that pits Chief Brody, Quint and Hopper against the shark.

Ravensburger Jaws features a special, double-sided game board that’s played in two acts. In Act 1, the humans must protect Amity Island while the hidden shark tries to silently devour swimmers. If the shark devours 9 swimmers or Chief Brody, Quint and Hopper successfully tag the shark with two yellow barrels, Act 1 is complete, and the board is flipped over. In Act 2, the humans try to defend the Orca boat while the shark rips the boat apart piece-by-piece. Short on time? You can play either Act as a stand-alone game.

You can get Jaws for $29.99 at your local Target or on Amazon

 

HorrorifedImagine living in a place so wretched, that it’s not plagued by one, two, or even three monsters, but seven of the most horrifying fiend. In this game, you’ll come face to face with them all as you work together to rid the town of these maniacal or misunderstood creatures… Before it’s too late.

Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, and others have thrilled and terrified horror fans for almost 100 years. This August, Ravensburger raises the stakes and brings spine-chilling fun to your table with the new board game Horrified: Universal Monsters. Strategy is key as players band together to defeat all of your favorite classic monsters including Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and more!

Fans of classic horror movies or clever strategy tabletop games will all enjoy a chance to play the heroes against some of the biggest monsters of all time. PLUS, for the collector or hobby crowd, the player pieces are high-quality crafted miniatures that can be painted and treasured.

 

Horrified will be available August 1st at Target, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and hobby stores for $34.99 (ages 10+).

Since that time he hasn’t been able to bite into an apple because of the fear of chomping down into a razor blade. At age 12 he went to his first haunt (Knotts Scary Farm) and only has missed a handful of years since then. Ethan has an unhealthy obsession with Elvira, 80’s slashers, and universal monsters which is borderline creepy.
