Good news if you have ever been priced out of a horror board game grail: Camp Grizzly is clawing its way back into print. Trick or Treat Studios is reprinting the cult semi-cooperative slasher, more than a decade after it vanished from shelves, and its Kickstarter funded in just five minutes on the way to nearly half a million dollars. First-edition copies have long changed hands for £300 or more, so a fresh printing is a small mercy for anyone who missed it the first time.

Set up your group for freeCamp Grizzly is a love letter to 1980s slasher films. Originally released in 2015 by Ameritrash Games and designed by Jason Topolski, it drops 1 to 6 players into the sneakers of hapless summer-camp counsellors in 1979, stalked through a maze of cabins and trails by Otis, a masked killer with an unsettling bear fixation. It plays as a semi-cooperative scramble: gather your objectives, survive the night, and brace for one of four climactic finales. Expect cameos, plot twists and horror Easter eggs lifted straight from the films the game adores, plus the odd doomed camper to rescue.
This new edition is the tidy way to own the whole thing. It bundles the base game together with all the previous expansions, so you are not hunting down out-of-print add-ons on top of the base box. A basic copy runs around £45 (roughly 60 dollars), with a pricier limited edition adding acrylic standees and upgraded bits.
