Cool Horror Gear: The Shining, the board game!

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

I love this idea, even if I’m not really into board games.

THE SHINING was turned into a board game back in 1998, apparently with the assistance of Stephen King himself. And it’s not a board game you go out and buy – you can actually print it out and play it ASAP!

One player controls the evil and sentient Overlook hotel, the other the Torrence family, winter caretakers of the haunted estate. How awesome is that?

You can download the game right HERE.
