The Bloody Inn Review

Sometimes I let my inner Brett Michaels get the best of me.  When it comes to boardgame themes and settings I need a chance just to get away.  I gotta get a break from the same old, same old.  So in my never ending quest, looking for nothing but a good time, I tend to search every nook and cranny for weird games.  Make no mistake, The Bloody Inn is WEIRD.

Great review! What's even more disturbing about this game is that it's based upon a true story.

I also find that the surreal artwork on the cards adds to its twisted nature--it had to be intentional--like looking into the mind of a serial killer.

Let's hope that repeated plays of Bloody Inn and its insane artwork don't cause a scene like from this movie, Night of the Generals.

Great review, as always! I very much enjoyed playing this strange game and would gladly play again. Perhaps eventually I will be able to wrap my head around it. . .

Thanks Al. And yeah maybe someday we can end Josh Look's reign as the emperor of The Bloody Inn!

Seriously, for as much as I love this game I truly suck at it. In 10+ games I've won maybe once. I think that is a testament to how engaging the design is. Each time I play it I'm so sure and confident that I will be able to successfully murder my way to success. Then about 60 mins later I usually end up with a pile of corpses and no glory for my efforts. I feel like Doctor Claw. "I'll get you next time Gadget! Next time!"

I think this game is really good. And really weird. I really want to pick up a copy of my own because it's so weird that I don't think it will be around forever.

My pleasure! This is just the beginning of my efforts to help Josh Look take over the site with horror themed content. He'll be doing the movie reviews and I'm going to be bringing horror boardgame reviews and articles each and every week from Sept thru Oct. I felt like The Bloody Inn was a good first article because it's a little less subdued than your average horror game. I know some folks aren't quite ready for Zombies, Vampires, Universal Monster Movies, and Werewolves on Sept 1st like Josh and myself are. You guys only get one week of prep though. After this expect more stuff that is knee deep in the horror genre!
