The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse
Once you’re set up, you start taking turns; each scenario poses different challenges for the trespassers beyond mere survival, ranging from the aforementioned car theft to looting the house to burning the house to rummaging through private property to find proof of the Sawyers’ crimes. (Look, it’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Even the people who get hung on meat hooks can have dubious moral compasses.) Meanwhile, the Sawyers enter the game one by one—you start with just the Old Man, then as the cleverly chainsaw-shaped “panic meter” rises, more join the party—and try to eliminate their uninvited guests. The gameplay is propelled by dice rolls and cards, and for the basics of each turn, trespassers can move, run, and search/swap item cards with other trespassers (there’s also a hiding option depending on where you are), while Sawyers can move, hunt, and attack.
