This is what the board game offers

The board game “Dying Light: The Board Game” offers 1 to 4 people the opportunity to act as brave survivors in the fictional, apocalypse-ravaged city of Villedor. The aim here is to survive in a cooperative manner or alone against constant attacks from so-called “infected people”, whereby the game is based on the popular video game series of the same name.

The rules are designed to be learned intuitively to explore the survival genre in innovative ways. The gameplay is enriched by a modular city map with three-dimensional elements, interactive components and a variety of dangers. A special feature is the parkour and combat system, which ensures dynamic actions. In addition, the atmosphere is intensified by a day-night change. The game’s narrative component challenges players to deal with various factions and react quickly to changing circumstances in order to survive in the inhospitable environment of Villedor.
