All right enough dilly dallying, on to the task at hand! This weeks spooky adventures will include an exciting incite on Abita Breweries Purple Haze Lager, an absolutely embalming experience with winnies, and a fantastic newer game Called Camp Grizzly throughout which you may or may not survive ... Moooooo Hahahahahahahahhaahahhahaha!... Hmm oh yes, did I mention this is...THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL? Moooooooooooooooooooooo Hahahahahahhahaahhahaahahahahaha!

Abita Purple Haze

Abita Purple Haze found its self on my table one night a few months ago, through the generosity of one of my good friends. It came both highly recommended and treasured so I just had to see what all the fuss was about. This barrel-chested, 4.2 ABV ale cam exactly to my liking, delicious and refreshing, and oh so very smooth. Purple Haze is delectably brewed with real raspberries, added after filtration as to maintain color and the "haze". Brewed with pilsner,wheat malts and Vanguard hops this beer practically gives its self away to mild, fine aroma. The berries add a fruity, tartly sweet taste and a subtle purple color, depending on the batch you may even get some actual fruit pulp in your glass! I wish we were all so lucky. I find myself wanting this treat all the time and only get it every now and then, I guess I'm keeping myself from drinking while the eerie October air is about... Well, we all know what happens when someone drinks in the movies... Or has sex or smokes pot or even sins of any degree really... Lets just say it usually ends in knives and yelling and someone not making it back alive! MOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH

Camp Grizzly

Camp Grizzly is the first game to emerge from Ameritrash Games and it emerged with a bang! This semi-cooperative survival horror board game is set in a 1970's summer camp were you and your fellow camp counselors face exciting new experiences and even find a new love. But well it cant be that easy can it, there is just a slight twist to this summer employment of yours, there is a homicidal, blood thirsty maniac, stalking the grounds killing anyone and everyone he can find. This prowler of the night is a deranged ex grounds keeper named Otis who goes around slaughtering your campers and fellow counselors in a teddy bear mask and the only way to win is to survive.

Here is a promotional video that is pretty funny :)

Here is the game rules directly from the manufacturer

Select a camp counselor and draw 2 survival cards. Permanent survival cards are immediately played face up as they represent reusable abilities or special aspects of the counselor. All other cards become your starting hand (referred to as your backpack) . Your counselor's pawn is placed at the campfire.

Your goal is to find a combination of three objective cards required to start one of four possible game finales.  The objectives are shuffled and placed on the board prior to the start of the game.

On your turn, you may move a number of spaces as indicated by your counselor's current health (As you take damage, your movement is affected). After moving, you must draw a cabin card and resolve it. Cabin cards include Weapons, Items and helpful Campers (in most cases) as well as Cameos, Plot Twists, and Otis cards which can mean big trouble.

After all players have completed their turns, it's Otis, the killer's turn. None of the players control Otis. Instead, he moves towards the closest target in an attempt to hurt the players. Fights with Otis are resolved with dice, but you can only fight if you have a weapon equipped! Winning a fight temporarily removes Otis from the board. Losing a fight means taking damage and panicking away.

Eventually, a set of objectives are found and a finale begins. Follow the instructions on the finale over several stages and the story comes to a close. The surviving counselors win the game!

Thank you Ameritrash Games!

This game is so unbelievably fun and its very adaptable to the amount of players, it can play up to 6 but two can play just fine. I really enjoy this game and the unique basis of its content keeps you interested the whole time and wanting to keep playing to see what cards Otis has in store. Its on kick starter and its still in the making and finishing process so feel free to donate and make this game more available for us all!
