ZOMBIE CHASE GAME NIGHT : SPOOKY FUN BOARD GAMES WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS

Disclosure: I received PlayMonster games from Tryazon in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own. I may collect a share of sales from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them.

     In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, I really enjoyed hosting a spooky fun board game night for my family & friends. Since I always serve a snack to my guests that go along with the theme of my party, I decided I would offer The Spengler Latte from Romancing the Bean CafĂ©. Since, its' Ghostbusters movie Halloween theme goes along with mine. The special latte was more than I hoped for, not only was it delicious, but it was just the perfect drink to perk up players to strategize.

            What I liked about the Zombie Chase game is that it can be played as a cooperative group effort in order to escape the theme park, or players can try to turn their friends into zombies. My friends worked so well together to avoid us turning into zombies, that we successfully beat the game fairly quickly.

            I  enjoyed how the game creates an exciting atmosphere, reminiscent of a Scooby Doo episode where they would go to a theme park and get chased by zombies. Just like how the Scooby gang worked as a unit to solve the mystery, the Zombie Chase game lends a similar air of mystery, fright, team work & fun all rolled into one.

            Reign is the second game that we played. I think it is a unique, challenging, & complex board game. If you are playing with the maximum amount of players, it can take a very long time. I really liked the fact that the players get to set up the board the way they want, such as choosing the layout of the gems & picking where your clan members are positioned at the beginning of the game. This was not the case with Zombie Chase. In that game, the tokens must be set up on preset red spaces. It is also fun to put together the puzzle like board game pieces, but they are a bit tricky to place back in their box. 

             The object of the Reign game is to battle other clans. If you enjoy watching Netflix's Squid Game, you will probably enjoy playing this time sensitive battle royale style game. Since, Reign's objective to be the last remaining player is quite similar. I also found it interesting that unlike the typical board game which only allows players to make one move per turn, Reign allows players to perform several different things within their one turn.
