THE DEADITES ARE COMING!


From the powerhouse designers at Lynnvander Studios comes a game that will take you to Hell and back - if you've got the guts to play it!

In this cooperative tower defense board game for 1 to 4 players (5 with the expansion!), Ash Williams and his allies lead the defense of Lord Arthur's castle. Each round, players frantically program actions in a real-time planning phase. Then they take turns resolving those cards to move around the castle, use its artillery and other rooms, and fight to keep the Deadites at bay.

If they can survive long enough against the Army of Darkness, Evil Ash himself shows up - and if the players can defeat him before the undead steal the Necronomicon, then the battle will be won!

LET'S PLAY THE GAME, SPINACH CHIN!

How's the game work?  I'm glad you asked!

  • 1-4 Players (5 players w/ the expansion)

  • 60 minute play time

  • 40 character standees (44 miniatures w/ the expansion)

  • 95 cards & 47 tokens

  • 6 custom dice

  • 4 playable character boards (a 5th Playable character board available w/ the expansion)

This fast-paced, co-operative, “tower defense” game has 1-4 players commanding Arthur’s army of knights as they hold off Evil Ash, Evil Sheila, and their army of Deadites from getting their hands on the Necronomicon. Players strategically select action cards to formulate their attack and defense, but their luck will be tested as the battle evolves, unexpected twists happen in the turn of a card, and the best laid plans could be foiled. But additional help is at hand from the modern world… in the trunk of Ash’s car are various tools to assist players in getting the upper hand. And if the resources of the living world aren’t enough, dare to tap into the pages of the Necronomicon and cast a spell at your own risk. Any words uttered from the Necronomicon could either mean salvation for Ash and his friends, or damnation for the entire human race!
