Elsewhere in the Creepshow franchise, Creepshow: The Suspense-Building Gamerecently became available on the Skybound e-commerce store. The wicked story-building tabletop game makes players become Creeps and weave twisted tales where dastardly deviants meet well-earned demises. You’ll need strategy and cunning for this game, and to know when to push your luck because deception could be waiting at every turn. Creeps create chains of story cards and secretly fill them with Suspense. At key moments in the story, when tension is highest, Creeps can bet on the amount of Suspense to score big. But beware of other Creeps sabotaging the story, you just may lose your head!
The Creepshow comic miniseries deal was brokered by Striker Entertainment.
