Avid fans of the horror genre are sure to be pleased with the news of the new The Shining board game as a way to bring the iconic book-turned movie to life in an interactive manner. The board game is for three to five players aged 17 and up, and requires them to try their hand as a caretaker at the Overlook Hotel where they're working through the winter. Players will be tempted by the evil forces inside the hotel to turn against the other players and make them a permanent part of the hotel's history.
The Shining board game takes between 45 and 60 minutes per round to play, and features an array of imagery and components that will call to mind the original horror film.
