#18 - Dice Of Arkham

Evil cultists are trying to summon a creature that will, as is often the case in these kinds of stories, destroy the world as we know it. You have to stop them by finding the seals that will prevent the ritual and bind the creature before they find the keys that bring it forth.
Every turn you roll and reroll dice Yahtzee style to generate the resouces needed to find the seals and to battle the evil that tries to stop you. The goal is to gather enough investigation to find the three seals before the time runs out or you’re killed or driven insane. But you have to be careful. Not only do you also roll mythos dice each turn which will send deranged cultists and eldritch monsters against you, every roll of your own dice can also cost your dearly.
Dice of Arkham is a solitaire game that is free to print and play. All you need is a print of the game sheet, eight normal dice, and eight small tokens or beads and you're ready to save the world.

#16 - Reanimation: A Zombie Survival Game

The city of Whitewater has suffered a great tragedy; for reasons unknown the dead have risen up from their graves and seek to feed upon the living. The city became overrun in a single night and the few remaining survivors now scavenge to survive during the day and barricade themselves safely away at night.

#12 - You Are The Maniac!

YOU are the Maniac! transforms the player into the role of the Maniac. Slash your way through a 3 part film franchise, complete with a familiar cast of characters and all of the slasher film stereotypes we hold dear to our blood-thirsty hearts. In each film, 13 Victims are lined up, including one Final Girl. Players take turns playing Maniac cards, capturing Victims and adding them to their killer Collection. At the end of the third movie, the Maniac with the most points wins. Gameplay is on the lighter side, with a surprising mix of strategy. The humor is on the darker side, appealing to fans of horror movies.
