The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – The Nightmare Begins
The silence of the Texan countryside is broken by the roar of the chainsaw . In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre you are not just a player: you are a escaped victim or a member of the infamous Sawyer Family . A haunted house of skulls, bones and blood becomes your survival arena.
If you play a victim, your goal is simple and desperate: look for the keys and the gasoline to escape the van before it's too late. But if you're in the Family, the task is clear: stop any escape , by any means. The tension rises with each turn, between claustrophobic rooms, desperate runs and the constant fear that Leatherface might come at you with his chainsaw.
What makes this tabletop nightmare unique?
- 🔪 Total Asymmetry : Experience the game as a victim or as the Sawyer Family
- 🏚️ The Haunted House : Every room hides traps, secrets, and horror
- ⚡ Continuous tension : survive the turns or you will be taken to the Killing Room
- 🎬 Inspired by the 1974 cult classic : relive the horror masterpiece at the table
- 🤝 Semi-cooperative : fragile alliances, betrayals and pure adrenaline
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the perfect horror board game for Those who love thrills and scary-themed nights. A race against time, a challenge against fear itself.
Run, scream, survive… if you can.
Product Details
🐸 COME SI GIOCA
1. Live the nightmare in Texas
You and your friends are out of gas in the middle of nowhere . You must explore the map to find keys and fuel and escape the terror that lurks in the shadows.
2. Explore and collect resources
Each turn, you spend actions to flip tokens and search for useful items . But be careful: the more you move, the greater your chances of attracting Leatherface's attention.
3. Survive the hunt
The infamous Leatherface stalks players across the map. If he catches up with you, he'll take you to the Kill Room , where you have only three turns to attempt an escape before it's too late.
4. Collaborate… or just save yourself
The game is semi-cooperative : it's a good idea to help each other find the objects and distract the killer, but in the end only the one who manages to return to the van with the keys and the gas will be able to truly escape.
5. You win if you escape alive
The game ends when at least one survivor escapes or Leatherface eliminates everyone. In this Texas nightmare, every decision is a matter of life and death. 🔪

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
You can run. You can hide. But the sound of the chainsaw will find you.
You don't need gasoline. You need courage. And a way out.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Welcome to the 1974 Nightmare
The Texas sun beats down, silence cuts the air, and your van's engine coughs… to death.
A creaking gate, a house in the distance, a hope. Then, the roar of the chainsaw .
From here on, every step is a mistake, every door a risk, every second a heartbeat that separates you from nothingness.
In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Game , you don't play a hero — you play a victim fighting to stay alive .
Cult horror becomes a cooperative race against madness
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Game is a cooperative, strategic board game for 1–4 players , based on the legendary 1974 horror film.
Published by Trick or Treat Studios , it takes the tension of the cinematic classic and transforms it into a tabletop experience full of anxiety and suspense.
Players take on the role of guys who run out of gas in the heart of Texas , forced to explore the area in search of keys and fuel to escape with their van.
But be careful: Leatherface moves around the map, and if he finds you… you end up in the Death Room , where you will only have three turns to escape or end up in his hands .
A system of simultaneous actions and increasing tension keeps everyone on edge until the last scream.
The film becomes reality (and terror) 🐸
