Lights dim, suspense fills the air, and a faint whisper echoes through the room. For most, this would signal the beginning of a spine-chilling horror movie experience. But for those of us who are less inclined toward the macabre, the world of horror can often seem like uncharted territory. Need more of a challenge? Select Hard Mode in the Settings and Ghost Face calls more often and you have less time to win.

Threaten is where he threatens a location. As mentioned previously, each Scene card has a location listed on it. The initial call is a heads-up that he’s heading there. The subsequent call is that he will make a demand for a single random object card. Unable to fulfill the demand? Bid farewell to your hand as it is discarded. It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again! A new board game announced by Funko today - Scream: The Game. It apparently comes with a free companion app, voiced by Ghostface's voice actor from the films. I've shared more details here: https://www.wargamer.com/scream-board-game/ghostface

You can only draw cards on your turn, as players cannot freely give cards to each other. Going through the scenario I just painted, imagine playing a game with six people. That means for you to even have three cards in your hand, that knife has to be passed eighteen times. Mind you, this is merely to have three cards in your hand; you still need keys, and you are under a time limit! Everyone will start communicating in panic, fumbling their words as well as that knife, and eventually getting themselves killed by their own incompetence. The fast pace makes it fun, and there's even a hard mode you can select in the app to make it faster. But this is a pro and a con. I don't like games that seem to take days to finish, like Monopoly, but I do want at least most of a game night to be spent playing. I wish there could be a more in-depth version here.

It’s a set collection game, and like sex in horror movies, I never turn it down, even if the outcome will likely include my inevitable death. I like cards, hand management, and filling out objectives like I’m playing Rummy. This isn’t the first time I’ve reviewed a set collection game that was outside my interest. I don’t care for birds, and yet I reviewed Birdwatcher. Includes three missions with unique envelopes of components to decipher clues, outwit foes, and resolve otherworldly encounters!

Taunt is where everyone looks at the object cards in their hands. You see, some object cards will have Ghostface on them, and if your hand has three or more, you discard your entire hand. The pivotal and most crucial action Ghostface will perform is stalking. Ghostface selects a specific player and delivers a chilling message, alerting them of his imminent approach and making a demand. His demands are always a trio of objects, such as three keys or three popcorn cards. If he calls again and the player doesn’t have it, the player dies, and everyone loses.
