CREEPSHOW: THE SUSPENSE BUILDING GAME Brings Twisted Tales to Your Tabletop

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming release of “Creepshow: The Suspense Building Game” by Skybound is nothing short of exhilarating. Having grown up on the classic horror anthology film from Stephen King and George A. Romero, the opportunity to immerse myself in this terrifying universe once more, this time through a tabletop game, is a dream come true.

As a dedicated gamer and streaming enthusiast, I’ve encountered the age-old question: Which streaming service reigns supreme? With mergers becoming the norm and prices continuously climbing, it’s a challenging query to answer definitively. Yet, I remain unwavering in my choice – Shudder. For just $5.99 per month, you gain access to an extensive library brimming with indie films, documentaries, and spine-tingling horror anthologies. And let me tell you, the latter is a must-have for any true horror aficionado. Take Greg Nicotero’s “Creepshow,” for instance – it’s an absolute game-changer that will leave you yearning for more.

As a huge fan, I can’t help but be excited about the expansion of the Creepshow universe! While it initially drew inspiration from Stephen King and George A. Romero’s iconic 1982 film, it has since blossomed into something all its own. With a captivating comics anthology series under Skybound’s wing, the Creep is coming to a tabletop near me this fall! I can hardly wait for the release of Creepshow: The Suspense Building Game. (Many thanks to Comicbook.com for sharing this news!)

1. Players can assume the role of the Creep and craft chilling narratives using Story Cards in this exciting game. The tension will escalate as they incorporate Suspense cards into their tales. Competitors might attempt to disrupt the narrative with sabotage tactics and entertaining choices. According to an interview on Comicbook.com with Garima Sharma, VP of Licensing for Skybound Entertainment, a typical gameplay session lasts between 40-60 minutes. This sounds like a delightful way to pass a Fall Friday evening! There are three methods to emerge victorious:

1.      Place high Suspense cards onto Villains and claim them when their story is done. 

2. Test my skills by accurately predicting the intensity of the suspense in a tale, using those thrilling Suspense-Checking cards.

“Use Low Suspense cards to sabotage your rivals’ stories, forcing them to conclude prematurely and earning you points in return.”

Currently, we don’t have a definite date for the start of pre-orders for the game, but it is expected to happen fairly soon. In the meantime, interested fans are advised to check Skybound Tabletop‘s website regularly for updates.
