House of the Dread
The House of the Dread is an easy horror role-playing game where player characters explore haunted locations using towers that fall when they make certain actions. If their tower falls or any Menaces are lost, players must pull a block from another Tower to avoid being killed themselves in subsequent levels until victory conditions occur at which point everyone dies except for the last character standing (the Host). The game is ideal for first-time roleplayers and hosts alike with limited set up time.
