it all boils down to what The Wolf Man looks like. Drac and Creechie look great! 


The box lid shows 7 monsters:  Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Bride, Wolf Man and Creature.  It also states that it is for up to "5 players".

We have already seen what look like 5 game pieces: Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein, Bride and Creature.

Maybe there won't be an Invisible Man or a Wolf Man.  ?


(If they do make all 7 monsters on the lid, that brings the per monster price down to $5 each.)

I've found quite a few places saying we will get all 7 monsters for the game - but, I've been looking everywhere I can think of, and NOBODY has pictures!

I hope they come up with 7 different colors for them.  I think the Bride should be White, Frank and Creature could be two different shades of Green, Mummy looks good in the Tan we've seen, Wolf Man should be Brown, Dracula Black, Invisible Man Grey?

I hope the lack of pictures doesn't mean they are still negotiating with Universal for final approvals.

C'mon, guys!  This is supposed to be available on August 1st.

Clear.

Yeah.

I was just trying to avoid 2 whites.  I figured off-white bandages.   Clear or cream color would be good.

It has always bothered me that a bandage-clad Invisible One is done in clear.  If he's clear, he should be naked.

EVERYBODY LOOK FOR PICTURES!

He made some invisible sheep and knitted some clothes with their wool.

I was worried we weren't going to get a Dracula since he seemed to be a character you don't play as, so I am glad to see a sculpt for him.   Not sure we'll get an Invisible Man.

I was also concerned about Drac, since he is not named in a number of the posts I've seen while looking for pictures.

I was glad to discover the picture of him with Creature.

I'm really hoping this is released without too many changes from what they've shown. Looks like a ton of fun! Between this, the new Universal Monsters Funko minis and all the stuff from Super 7, I'm going to need to start saving.

What's up with this game?

The few pictures I found were on one site only - and not all on the same site.  It is almost the middle of June; this I supposed to be released in August; no one has a good set of pictures - not even the Ravensburger site - and no one is taking pre-orders.

So...  What's up?

Not a good sign. Unless things change, I wouldn't hold out much hope for it.

Unless I misread, the 1 August release date is at Gen Con. I'm not sure they're promising that as a street date for retail, but the game is on at least one wholesale site I'm aware of. Ravensburger often seems to partner with retail (Target being the big one). While it might not ship to the public on 1 August, I wouldn't worry about not seeing it for sale during the Fall/Halloween season.

Oh.  So that's why no pictures - they are saving the big reveal for the show?

OK, that makes sense.

I emailed Ravensburger regarding the release of the game and they told me "it is due to hit shelves 8/1/19".

Here's a site that says they are taking pre-orders for $32.49:

https://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/277231


Note:  Don't know when this was originally posted, but it is showing the $44.99 MSRP that was being quoted about 3 months ago.  Now everyone seems to be agreed that it will be $34.99.

Looks like no one wants to leak pictures of the game.

I even e-mailed Ravensburger's "Contact us here for fast friendly help" address - but got NOTHING in response.

Looking forward to seeing this in person.  Seven figures for $35 with good-looking Creature and Dracula sculpts should sell very well.
