Atmosfear Interactive Board Game with DVD

Description

The gatekeeper serves as your host in this interactive game of fear and nerves.While a handful of board games have attempted to incorporate VHS tapes for a more visceral experience, the technology usually proved too clunky and unmanageable to provide enough fun to make it worth the hassle. But since it relies on digital technology, a DVD is inherently more precise, this makes it easier to work in to such games as Atmosfear. The game has a horror movie feel to it, featuring mummies, vampires and assorted other beasties and ghoulies. The cards drawn by players often correspond to time marks on the included DVD and ask you to be interactive with your fellow contestants, for instance: "at 46:50, start to giggle insanely. If any opponent asks why you laugh hand them this card and this message: I m having the last laugh: You re BANISHED to the BLACK HOLE". It s a game for extroverts and technology lovers but if those factors, or the monsters in the design, don t scare you off, it should be a lot of fun. --Charlie Williams
