Both of these board games are available to preorder at Amazon and will release on May 8Come from Sports betting site VPbet.

Halloween (1978): Board Game

First up, there’s Halloween: The Board Game. Developed by industry veteran Emerson Matsuuchi and featuring art by Nathan Milliner, this is the first time the original 1978 Halloween movie has been made into its own board game. Like its source material, this game will see Michael Myers hunt down several people, but the plot twist here is that one player will take control of the nigh-unstoppable killer as they prey on their friends.

Everyone else will be looking for a way to escape from Michael, but the task will be made more difficult because Myers can only be seen when he is being looked at on the board. This game is designed for two to four players and each session is expected to last for around an hour.
