Funko Games is launching a Texas Chainsaw Massacre board game.
Ahead of the classic horror film’s 50th anniversary in 2024, Funko Games has designed the one-vs-many survival game, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse.
The ferocious Sawyer family is played by one player, with all other players stepping into the shoes of unfortunate travellers doing everything they can to survive.
The game includes custom sculpted figures and an achievement system lets players unlock special cards which carry over from one game to the next.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse will be available September 2023.
