Horrified: American Monsters Board Game

Something Wicked Roams the American Wilderness

The campfire flickers low. Somewhere out in the dark, the Jersey Devil circles overhead while the Mothman watches from the treeline. Back in town, the Chupacabra is making its move — and your team is the only thing standing between the monsters and the people they're hunting. Every round tightens the noose, and every choice your group makes could be the one that saves the night or unravels everything you've built.

Classic Monsters, All-American Terror

Ravensburger's Horrified: American Monsters takes the beloved cooperative formula of the original Horrified and relocates it to the folklore and cryptid legends of North America. Gone are Dracula and the Wolfman — here you'll face iconic creatures of American myth: Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, the Mothman, and more. Each monster comes with its own distinct defeat conditions and behaviours, meaning no two game nights feel quite the same. Players work together against the game itself, coordinating actions, managing resources, and racing to stop the monsters before the town's terror level spirals out of control. The theme is rich, the tension is real, and the cooperative dynamic genuinely rewards communication and sharp planning.

Who Belongs Around This Table

This one is a strong fit for groups of one to five players who enjoy working together toward a shared goal — cooperative play rather than head-to-head competition. The game is designed for ages 10 and up, and with a medium-light weight and typical play sessions in the 60–90 minute range, it sits comfortably at family game night or as a welcoming entry point for friends just starting to explore hobby gaming beyond classics. It's especially compelling around Halloween, but genuinely earns a spot on the shelf year-round for fans of American folklore and atmospheric storytelling.

What's Inside the Box

Components are where Ravensburger consistently delivers, and American Monsters is no exception. The game includes illustrated monster boards with unique mechanics for each creature, custom artwork steeped in the visual language of American cryptid mythology, and the high-quality tokens and cards the Horrified series is known for. Each monster feels mechanically distinct — Bigfoot plays nothing like the Mothman — which gives the game meaningful replay value across multiple sessions. This copy is listed in excellent condition and complete, so everything you need to play is inside and ready to go.
