Reception

Paul Mason reviewed Chill: Black Morn Manor for White Dwarf #69, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "A little more explanation, with examples, would have been particularly useful. Still, the game involved a fair measure of strategy, particularly in the placing of tiles."^[3]

Matt Williams reviewed Black Morn Manor for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The rules, only four sides long, are written with a dry, black humour. However they are not as clear as they are concise. The order of card play Is ill-explained, with the rules contradicting instructions on most cards. Further, as the rules stand, the haunted room may never enter play; thus the game may last forever. Both these points have intuitive solutions, but mar what is otherwise an enjoyable game."^[4]

Kevin Ross reviewed Chill: Black Morn Manor in Space Gamer No. 76.^[1] Ross commented that "This is a tough genre to work in, especially in the area of boardgames [...] Pacesetter has done a pretty reasonable job with Black Morn Manor, and so far it appears to be the best of the horror boardgames."^[1]
