Official Evil Dead Board Game Takes Boomstick To Its Kickstarter Funding Goal

Board games are getting Kickstarted left, right and centre, which means we’re only going to get more of them. Enter Evil Dead 2: The Official Board Game, almost certainly sparked by the recent success of the franchise’s TV refresh.

Evil Dead 2 is exactly the sort of experience you’d expect for the franchise — a co-operative “survival horror” shindig for up to six players, where you have to run around collecting Necronomicon fragments and not dying.

Sessions should last around 60-90 minutes, so it won’t devour an entire evening, such is the case with say, Arkham Horror.

Fans are eager for it to be a thing — it’s tracking at $US172,000, a healthy $US100,000 above its $US70,000 goal. It still has 32 days to go, so I expect the final number will be much higher.

So far so good, right? Kind of.

I’m a little concerned — while Space Goat has experience in comics and by its own admission “creative services”, it’s never released a board game. Now, I’m sure it won’t be terrible, but I plan to wait for reviews before informing my wallet.

True, I’ll miss out on the Kickstarter-exclusive goodies, but that’s just how it works.
