Glenn’s Review:
Keeping with our horror theme, Glenn reviews a board game called Mysterium. This game lets you experience Spiritualism in the 1920s. One player assumes the role of a spirit that inhabits a home in Scotland. The other players are mediums who must determine how the deceased met their end. Each round, the spirit player hands out cards to the mediums. The cards are then used to help figure out who the killer is. Those that guess correctly move on to the next round and guess the location and then the weapon. I equate it to Clue in reverse.
It’s a game that plays up to 7 players and takes about 45 minutes.

Kickstarter Spotlight:
The horror classic is brought to life in the new computer game called Friday the 13th: The Game is our spotlight, this week. You can play the game as Jason or as one of the camp councilers. The lush graphics and ‘sets’ for Camp Crystal Lake are not to be missed. Will you kill all of the campers or will you survive the night as a counciler? This is the only way you can find out. This game will be done using the Unreal 4 Engine so the detail will be breathtaking.
