The Keep is a board game published by Mayfair Games in 1983 that is based on the identically titled 1981 horror film. The game is designed by James D. Griffin and is for 3 to 6 players, in which one player takes the role of the “Evil One” and the others play as the “Heroes”. The game is set in a castle, and the Heroes must explore the castle and defeat the Evil One before he can awaken the ancient evil that lies within.
Why is The Keep Popular?
The Keep is not a widely known or popular game, but it has received positive reviews for its well-balanced gameplay and levels of bluff and counterbluff. It is also significant as a board game based on a horror film, which was a relatively uncommon theme at the time of its release.
