Shadows Over Camelot
Since I understand tha lots of people here like Coop games, this one,though not horror themed, is probably the best one i tried
all players are knights of the round table and try to save Camelot, there are 6 quest that run silmutaneously on the game(Holy Grail,Excalibur,Lancelot,Saxons,Picts and the Black Knight), along with a 7th one tha replaces the excalibur(the Dragon) and a number of catapults that try to siege camelot and the heroes try to defend and overcome all these, its almost impossible to win them all but you wont lose if some of them are lost. Every time a quest ends black or white swords stack on the round table,depending on the outcome, the players want the white ones.
Every player gets a role of a known Knight along with his special ability and cooperation is the key to victory, but you cannot speak open to others about your cards because that would made it easy.
Add to that the traitor effect(one,or two with the expansions, of the knight MAY or may not be traitors) and you get an ultra high difficulty coop board game.
I was really afraid of the replay value but along the expansion and some variants it really plays well for a long time

I cross my chewed up zombie toes too. I'm not a general fan of the knightish fantasy genre but it sounds like it has an interesting mechanic. And do let us no what you think of it if you acquire it. I take game recommendations more seriously from LNoE players than the average zombie fodder Watchmen02

Just picked it up - Got it for $80 second hand but it's in brand new condition. Haven't managed to play it yet but it has quite high production value on first inspection. The artwork is good (Not quite up to FF production standard). I cant wait to get a group together. The traitor element looks like a whole lot of evil fun!

RE: Shadows Over Camelot
My game froup played it over the weekend. There were a couple of newbies there. Some one suggested playing with out the traitor, most people laughed at the idea. In the end, the sieze weapons destroyed Camelot, the traitor had won Watchmen02

Do you like Water Deep ?
