Evil Dead 2 Board Game Launches Kickstarter
Groovy.
Yep, Evil Dead fans unite on Kickstarter, for an official tabletop board game of the classic movie is now available to pledge to. The 15 day campaign has already gotten over 4,000 backers, and over $350,000 raised since its launch. The goal for the game was only $70,000. The game is described as:
“The officially licensed Evil Dead 2 Board Game is the tabletop experience Evil Dead 2 fans have been dying for–featuring at least 8 custom figures with art depicting the terrifying and iconic characters, monsters, and locales from the cult classic film. 2-6 players will work together in 60–90 minute sessions to gather pages of the Ex-Mortis while trying to survive demon attacks, supernatural events, and avoid turning into evil deadites themselves.”
The makers of the game, Space Goat, also talked about why they chose Kickstarter for such a game:
“Kickstarter is a fantastic tool not just for funding great projects, but for helping fans become aware those projects exist while getting them involved with the creative process. That’s what we hope to do with our Kickstarter campaign. Plus with the help of Evil Dead fans and Kickstarter we can add more bad ass miniatures, game play expansions, and extra Evil Dead greatness that we would never be able to offer without their help.
Additionally, we want to reward hardcore Evil Dead fans by offering exclusives to Kickstarter backers, like a deluxe edition of the game with an Ex-Mortis box, which has miniatures of combat Ash and Deadite Henrietta. We want to make the best, most official Evil Dead 2 game possible, and we can only do that with your help.”
