Halloween (1978) is receiving its very own board game adaptation thanks to Trick or Treat Studios. To play, one player is given the role of Michael Myers, while the other players will have to play Laurie Strode and other notable characters from the title. Players must survive while finding weapons, kids, and an escape path to safety.
Players will encounter many difficulties while playing, one being that The Shape can only be seen when players have him in their direct line of vision. Halloween is a "1 vs Many" style game, so when you play as Myers, you're playing solo.
The Halloween board game from Trick or Treat Studios is available for pre-order on the company's website, with an expected shipping date of August 1.
