Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons – Ravenloft*

Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons – Ravenloft is a standalone entry in Ravensburger's cooperative Horrified series and its second D&D game. Peter Lee and Nick Tourville send you to Barovia with four new monsters. For 1 to 5 players aged 10+, about 60 minutes – solo play included.

What's it about?

Together you defend Barovia against the Carrionette, the Gulthias Tree, Baba Lysaga and the Dark Lord Strahd von Zarovich, each with its own mechanics. Every player takes on a hero from one of five iconic D&D classes.

How it plays

  1. In the hero phase, the active player moves around the board, guides villagers, picks up useful items and works towards defeating the monsters.
  2. In the monster phase, the monsters wreak havoc, attacking heroes and villagers alike.
  3. The phases alternate until you have defeated every monster – or are overwhelmed by terror.

What makes it special?

Each monster is a puzzle you have to solve before time runs out. Action points, dice and distinct hero powers mean you need to coordinate closely. You don't need the first Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons or any D&D knowledge to play.

Who is it for?

Groups who like cooperative games with a horror theme, Horrified fans looking for new monsters, and D&D fans who want to bring Ravenloft to the table.
