The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary Board Game Launches Kickstarter Campaign

A new board game based on the hit TV series The Walking Dead has launched a campaign on Kickstarter in hopes of finding some financial backing.

The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary is a 2-4 player board game themed around survival strategies seen on The Walking Dead TV series. The full description, as seen on the Kickstarter campaign, is below:

Several of your fellow survivors have chosen to defy your leader, causing stress and tension to build up. The group's morale has dropped dangerously low, putting you all at risk. Suddenly, a horde of ravenous walkers bursts through the doors of the building. You feel your heart pounding . . . is this the end?

Welcome to the world of THE WALKING DEAD: NO SANCTUARY, Cryptozoic's intense new 2-4 player board game based on the hit AMC TV show. The game redefines the survival horror genre with gameplay that emulates the group dynamics from the series, as one player takes on the reins of Leadership and the other players can decide whether or not to support his or her choices. With every defied decision, Trust can decrease and Stress and tension can increase, diminishing Group Morale and placing all the survivors in serious danger. Each player must balance his or her own motivations (which cannot be shared with the others) with the needs of the group, making survival much more complex than simply mowing down countless numbers of the dead.

Designed by the award-winning team of Adam and Brady Sadler, this is the game fans of The Walking Dead have been waiting for! With stunningly detailed miniatures, get ready to play as your favorite characters like Rick Grimes, Glenn Rhee, Andrea Harrison, and—of course—Daryl Dixon. The Scenarios are directly based on the events of the TV series.

The world is falling apart . . . can you and your fellow survivors come together to survive?
