The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Slaughterhouse (2023)

About this game

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Slaughterhouse is a one vs. many fight for survival. One person plays as the deranged Sawyer family — Bubba Sawyer, the infamous Leatherface, along with the Hitchhiker, the Old Man, and Grandpa — dragging victims to their farmhouse and harvesting their meat for a grizzly barbecue. The other players are the unwitting trespassers who are doing everything they can to escape a hideous fate. The game includes an achievement system that lets players unlock special cards, which carry over from one game to the next. But in this game, there are no winners — only survivors. Will you make it out alive, or end up on the menu? —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 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.
