Quotes (from this video)
- as of the time of this recording over a thousand and fifty games have now been announced to be released at the essence peel trade show and I'm continuing to sift through this pile to list my top 100 picks I haven't slept in three days and I'm living off a diet a Nutella and nicotine so really a typical weekend
- ladies and gentlemen I present to you these self-published game Boras bees and boomerangs a light-hearted fast-paced real-time roll in right game
- I have seen the Grand Canyon and this blows it away
- Step Pyramid enthusiasts are an underserved market and by gum I continue to stand by that
- Sometimes I love this board game hobby because it allows me to utter phrases that I never thought I would say on my own
- Spooky however if the thought of that freaks you out as much as it does me this game can also be played with the lights on and without the app by using the supplied investigation booklet.
- I'm hoping that its gameplay is gonna be just as intriguing and as deep as the tales in the comic that it comes from

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a series that we do where we talk about the different games that we reviewed over the course of the week and other videos.
- It's going to be Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, came
- Thiefdom, a game where you're running around as thieves on the board. A lot of cool features in this game, but at the end of the day it's just a little too long.
- Uh I did Coral Castle, a drafting game which I found to be very enjoyable. Very simple. I don't The components could be improved, but I like how the game plays.
- What a fantastic game. I'm really enjoying this one. The money pieces could be improved, but just placing out kind of an area control game, but if you don't win, your stuff stays on for the next turn. An engine-building area control game I thought really cool.
- Regret as a game design tool. Oh cool. I use a game design tool every day. Near misses in games that you have to play repeatedly have actually been shown to motivate continued play. They generate a negative emotion, regret, along with a positive one, motivation.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Attack actions and dice — Attacking uses dice; knives on dice deal damage; range and number of dice can vary by weapon and state (e.g., staggered).
- Character replacement — When a victim dies, a new victim is introduced; new characters (e.g., Dr. Lumis, Sheriff) may be chosen when a victim dies.
- Damage/heal — Health is tracked with tokens; some cards heal damage; new victims appear when others die.
- Exertion tokens — Exertion can be spent to gain extra movement; exertion requires rest to remove.
- Item cards / equipment — Items found in searches (e.g., hairspray, iron, gun, handgun, baseball bat, bed sheets) have specific effects and may be used to attack or modify dice; some cards must be kept hidden or discarded.
- Line of sight and doors/windows — Line of sight is checked; doors block line of sight but not movement; windows create special interactions; objects can block or reveal line of sight.
- move action — Move up to four spaces; can optionally spend an exertion token to move an additional space; direction faced is chosen after movement.
- Search Action — Flip or remove a search token from your space or an adjacent space; draw the top card from the corresponding location deck; some cards have effects.
- Staggered state — Taking damage can cause a staggered condition, leading to worse actions on subsequent turns.
- Trade/communication — Victims can communicate but cannot reveal their cards; trade actions allow sharing cards between players.
- Turn structure — Each player gets two actions per turn; actions can be repeated; Michael Myers also acts (two actions) each round.
- Vehicles / car keys — Key items and car tokens are part of the objective; unlocking and occupying the car spaces is necessary to win.
- Win conditions — Victims win by surviving a set number of rounds or by locating Tommy and Lindsay and the car keys to escape in an unlocked car; Michael Myers wins by reaching a round limit or by eliminating a certain number of victims.

- Good for Halloween
- Love the theme and hospital setting
- Items found are thematic to the hospital
Cons

Comparison games
- Halloween

- Nuns on the Run
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- attack — Players can attack Michael Myers with weapons like a handgun (roll three dice, range eight) or a hammer (roll two dice, range one). Michael Myers attacks with three dice.
- Hidden Movement — It is a hidden movement style game. One person is going to be playing Michael Myers right over here, and everyone else is going to be playing the victims or hopefully survivors in this.
- Line of Sight — Line of sight is, of course, blocked by doors. However, you can see through windows just like this, and you can see just straightforward right here up until this door.
- search — You're going to have to go around and search at these areas and go through that deck and eventually find those cards.
- Staggered (Michael Myers) — When Michael Myers is staggered, his stalk moves from five spaces to three, he can still move through a window, but pursue cannot be done. His attack rolls two dice.

Quotes (from this video)
- If you haven't played the first game, you're going to get pretty much the same experience from either one of the two that you you play with.
- It is. There's so many little thematic things that you kind of laugh at like the pursue, you know, like when you run after you have to run behind them. So line of sight matters.
- If you're looking for a deeper hidden movement game this isn't it.
- This one is just kind of a fun atmospheric thematic game.
- This just happens to already be another game that I like more with this exact same, you know, pairing.
- And I think that this game works on a level where if you are the Michael Myers, if you're the one hidden person trying to trying to find everyone, I think if you play this game too seriously, you'll probably just kind of wipe the floor with everyone.
