At Wandering Adventures, your local board game store in Woodbridge, we’ve got a selection of board games in Vaughan to set the mood—and right now, all board games are on sale: browse the collection here. 1. Blood Rage – Ragnarök Awaits The world is ending, and the only question is how gloriously you’ll go down fighting. In the Blood Rage board game, each player commands a Viking clan in the final days before Ragnarök. Will you earn glory by conquering provinces, crushing opponents in battle, fulfilling quests, or even dying spectacularly to secure your place in Valhalla? With card drafting that aligns your clan with Norse gods like Thor, Loki, and Tyr, every round offers new strategies and opportunities to adapt. Sometimes the path to victory is in crushing your foes… and other times it’s in embracing defeat to reap even greater rewards. Perfect for gamers who love Viking mythology board games with a dark twist. 2. The Crow: Fire It Up – Justice in the Shadows Step into the gritty world of The Crow: Fire It Up board game, where one player becomes Eric Draven, rising from the grave to exact revenge on the gang that destroyed his life. The other players take on the role of the Motor City Gang, spreading chaos while trying to lure the undead avenger into the open. This horror-themed title blends tension, strategy, and theme beautifully—making it a great choice for fans of revenge stories and supernatural grit. It’s immersive, moody, and dripping with atmosphere, ideal for a scary board game night. 3. Destinies – A Dark Medieval Quest If you’re looking for a story-driven adventure, Destinies board game is an excellent pick. Set in a grim medieval fantasy world, this competitive board game uses an app to weave branching quests and narrative choices into the experience. Each player pursues a personal destiny with multiple possible paths to victory, and the choices you make permanently shape the unfolding story. With its mix of exploration, RPG elements, and haunting atmosphere, Destinies is one of the best story-driven horror board games you can bring to the table. 4. Folklore: The Affliction – A Cooperative Horror Epic For groups who prefer cooperation, Folklore: The Affliction board game offers a deep, campaign-style experience where players battle vampires, werewolves, and other horrors. You’ll create unique characters, explore a dark world, and face branching storylines filled with supernatural threats. What makes Folklore stand out is that death isn’t the end—fallen heroes return as ghosts with unique abilities, keeping everyone involved in the fight. With its RPG-style mechanics, this is a must-try for fans of cooperative horror board games. 5. Nightmare Productions – Horror Hits the Big Screen If your group prefers something lighter but still on theme, Nightmare Productions board game is a perfect pick. Designed by Reiner Knizia, this auction-style game has players bidding on creatures, locations, directors, and effects to produce their own horror movies. It’s fast, clever, and fun—especially when you compare the final “films” created by each player. Think of it as part strategy game, part parody, and one of the best Halloween board games if you want laughter with your scares. Bonus Picks for Extra Fright Catacombs Conquest board game – A fast-paced dexterity game where cards and flicks of the wrist decide your fate. Dead Man’s Cabal board game – You’re a necromancer bringing the dead back to life… just to have someone to party with. A clever mix of humor, macabre themes, and strategy. Whether you want to conquer Valhalla, seek revenge in the shadows, or dive into a cooperative horror campaign, these spooky board games are sure to make your Halloween game night unforgettable.
