This Game Is Killer: Frozen Horror

About this board game

This Game Is Killer: Frozen Horror is a 15-minute semi-cooperative survival game for 4–10 players, set in an arctic outpost where a Horror can mimic any life form. Stay away from everyone else, stay alive, and decide who can be trusted.

Each round, every player receives two cards. Each card can be played either as movement through a color-coded access passage or as an action. On your turn, play one card; after everyone has acted, play reverses and comes back around for the second card. By the end of the round, you have used one card for movement and the other for an action.

• Move through the outpost using color-coded access passages.
• Use actions to respond to threats and other players.
• Try to identify the Horror before it is too late.
• Win by outliving the alien—or risk killing an actual teammate.

The Horror pretends to be someone else each round, making every movement suspicious. Did another player enter your room to escape a threat, or to get close enough to kill you? With skill and luck, you may work out who the Horror is and destroy it with fire or by shooting it.

But attacking the wrong player can turn a desperate rescue attempt into a paranoid frenzy. In This Game Is Killer: Frozen Horror, many players can win, and the tension can last until only two players remain. As long as at least one player outlives the alien, the group wins—if anyone survives long enough to discover the truth.
