Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse

Funko Games continues their exploration of horror tabletop games, this time basing tabletop game Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse on the popular horror film franchise.

From the press release, Funko Games details: “In this all-out game, you, the player, have two options – survive or die trying, at least on the gameboard. While the ferocious Sawyer family is played by one player, the other players will play as unfortunate travelers doing everything they can to not be the next victims. It’s a game that lets players feel like a part of the world of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, all without the high stakes.”

In other words, it’s survive the player hunting trespassers as a member of the Sawyer family, while the remaining players must outlast and survive lest they end up on the dinner menu.

Check out images from the upcoming tabletop game below, with a closer look at the board and pieces.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse will be available September 2023. The game will also be available for advance pre-sale exclusively at Gen Con.

Funko’s game description promises:

  • Edge-of-your-seat gameplay pits one player against all others, with a unique, story-driven ending!
  • Includes custom sculpted figures, dice, and 140 cards in highly-detailed, visceral art style.
  • Achievement system lets players unlock special cards, which carry over from one game to the next!
  • Atmospheric design immerses horror fans in one of the genre’s all-time classic films.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse targets players ages thirteen and up, with the game designed for 2-5 players. A game match runs from 45-60 minutes.

Details on where to buy are coming soon, but you can keep up with release details and purchase locations over at FunkoGames.com.

With the original 1974 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre turning fifty next year, expect to see a lot more Leatherface in the coming months. Who’s hungry for some barbecue?
