Boogeyman: The Board Game (2022)

About this game

In Boogeyman you will play intrepid kids struggling with the classic nightmare: The Boogeyman. Nobody knows who he is and what he wants, but he certainly loves children who, however, do not intend to become a part of his dinner. No one knows his real face, but it is said that he is scary beyond the wildest imagination and, as if that were not enough, the kids will have to try and escape from the clutches of Jennifer, a psychopathic babysitter. What will happen? Will they be able to survive the long night? Will they manage not to get caught by the Babysitter and overcome their fears? Or will Boogeyman get the better of all of them? —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
