Overview
NIGHTMARE The Video Board Game! Nightmare/Atmosfear is a board game controlled by a video tape. It is a race against time and the game's host, The Gatekeeper. The aim of the game is to collect 6 of your character's keys and then race to the center of the board; The Nightmare Square. If the tape reaches 60 minutes The Gatekeeper Wins! Expanded by: Nightmare II Nightmare III Nightmare IV Similar to: Party Mania In 2022, a 30th Anniversary Edition was published with streaming (or downloadable) video replacing the original VCR cassette. It is "A faithful reproduction of the original product released in 1991. Guaranteed to have you jump, laugh and scream just like they did in the 90s!" This special 30th Anniversary Kickstarter edition of Nightmare/Atmosfear not only pays homage to the origins of this unique video-meets-boardgame experience, it also expands on the original with deluxe game play extras and new custom pieces made especially for this campaign. We are not only re-creating the original game from 30 years ago, we are also refining and improving the original with new playing pieces, extra cards, and incorporating the crazy Baron Samedi expansion. In addition we have commissioned an entirely new and original backstory of The Gatekeeper and his mission on and under the earth called "The Lore of the Other Side" - this will be penned as a graphic novel.
