This week my neighbors and I decided to play a board game online via Tabletop Simulator. I decided to teach them HORRIFIED. This cooperative game pits the players against the classic Universal Studios movie monsters. Our group tried out the Steam workshop online community built version of this popular board game. If you're looking for it on Tabletopia, you can subscribe to the workshop build named "Horrified (Scripted)" created by One Must Be Free. This was my first time playing an online version and it was the first time being introduced to any form of the game for the others. I created a server, opening Horrified and quickly got it set up, thanks to many of the scripts built into the game allowing for automatic placement. I was able to go over the basic concept and rules, allowing us to get started in about 15-20 minutes. We didn't have the best luck in the game. Very early on our group suffered three defeats, resulting in the terror track advancing nearly half way. Once the terror track reaches the end, the game ends in defeat. Undaunted by this bad luck and determined to keep learning and playing the game, we continued on. Each player quickly gathered the game-play process and rules. It went very smoothly. Adding villagers and items to the board was a quick and easy process as there were scripts created to help with these functions. Eventually our game ended in defeat, however we all enjoyed it. It felt like we were really making progress against all three monsters when we had two villagers get defeated, sending the terror track to the end. Horrified (Scripted) on Tabletop Simulator was a big success with our group. I was very happy with this community workshop build. Thanks to One Must Be Free for doing such a nice job. If you'd like to play games using Tabletop simulator, it is available via Steam online. To learn more about Horrified, you can link to the Board Game Geek website by clicking here.
