About the game

What is Evil Dead 2: The Board Game?

.Admin's note: This listing is for the 2020 release of a licensed design from Jasco Games and is not related to the 2016 Kickstarter campaign for a game of a similar name that never delivered to backers. Jasco Games did state that this KS would deliver a copy of their game to the 2016 KS campaign funders for the cost of shipping. Evil Dead 2: The Boardgame is a wild romp through the cult classic film. Players fend off Deadites, search the cabin for items and Necronomicon pages, and attempt to close the portal before evil is unleashed upon the world. But beware! You can't trust everyone, and at a moment's notice you might find that your allies are working for evil. Evil Dead 2 is a semi-cooperative boardgame with a hidden traitor element. Players must investigate the cabin and fight off Deadites while trying not to be turned evil themselves. If the players manage to shut the portal, they win. —description from the publisher
