Victim: The Cursed Forest

About this board game

Victim: The Cursed Forest is a cooperative horror board game for 2–6 players, with a playing time of about 90 minutes. Players must complete defined missions and find a way out of the forest within a specific time.

Each player takes a different character with a distinct skill. These abilities include navigation, searching, healing, and decoding, giving the group several important duties to manage. Players need to brainstorm together and wisely divide responsibilities as they work through the forest’s obstacles.

• Cooperative play for 2–6 people
• Different character skills, including navigation, searching, healing, and decoding
• Defined missions that must be completed to find a way out
• A possession twist that can change a player’s objective during the game

Partway through the game, one player will be possessed by the evil. From that point on, the possessed player’s mission changes: instead of helping the group escape, they must eliminate other players or block the way out.

The remaining players must team up to overcome obstacles while dealing with this new threat. They will need to rely on cooperation, careful planning, and the different strengths of their characters to make it out of the forest.

Released in 2020, Victim: The Cursed Forest combines mission-based cooperation with a shifting objective that can divide the group. The changing role of one player creates a tense challenge as the survivors try their best to complete the escape.
