Volumes of Blood: Body Count- A Tabletop Horror Game Based on the VOB Indie Anthologies of the Same Name!-Fitz of Horror

Written by Bryan Fitzgerald (Fitz of Horror) March 4, 2018

I’m not exactly sure how many other tabletop board games have been created because of indie horror movies (I have a good idea though) but either this will be the pioneer in the first of many or it will end up being a lonely one of a kind. Either way, you should pick up a deck of Volumes of Blood : Body Count and see who the best horror director in your circle of friends is.

Game play is 60-90 minutes with options for quick play or options for extended play with a higher body count. Suitable for 2-8 players.

Those of you not familiar with the Volumes of Blood anthologies, here’s a quick rundown to get you caught up-

Volumes of Blood (2015)-A sociology student gathers several friends at the local library on Halloween night to help him create a new urban legend with deadly consequences; Lily is in for a late night of researching and needs something to keep her going. It isn’t until she’s approached by a stranger that her luck may change – for the worse; a typical night of work for a librarian becomes a classic ghost story with a modern twist. Sometimes you can’t keep a bad book down; Sidney is allowed to stay after hours to study for a test. It’s not until she awakens in the darkened library that she realizes the truth of what lurks among the books after midnight. She better pray she doesn’t become the prey; Paige faces regrets that she’d do anything to take back. When an ancient and arcane spell book falls into her lap, she decides to make a grave decision. Be careful what you wish for, it might just kill you.

Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories (2016)-This critically acclaimed anthology sees a young couple planning to purchase an old home, but would like one last tour before the closing. They’re guided around the estate by a realtor that may have more in store than they bargained for. Searching floor by floor, they begin to discover seven tales of terror, that will leave you asking…How many stories does your home have?
