Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
All Hallows’ Eve is almost on us, and ’tis the season for horror themed games!
Games like Witch of Salem, Arkham Horror, Dungeons and Dragons: Castle Ravenloft, Betrayal at House on the Hill, or Last Night On Earth – The Zombie Game, and many, many more will see more table-time in the next few days than they do the rest of the year combined.
Myself? I’ll be getting together with my game group, Board Games and Brandy, tomorrow night for a little Arkham Horror. The question is, what are YOU playing?
Leave a comment below and tell us what some of your favorite spooky games are!

We’re going with Shadow Hunters this year as it’s simple enough to introduce to non-gamers and plays well with large groups (also the dark artwork fits the mood).
Chill by Pacesetter and Mayfair Games. It’s a great system for playing ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
We’ve been hitting Fury of Dracula (FFG version) like its number 1 on the Hotness list. Three games in the last 8 days. Halloween will likely see LNoE, Claustrophobia, or a home brew Zombie Catan I made last year.
