Dying Light is hitting the tabletop in Glass Cannon Unplugged’s newest Kickstarter coming February 27th. Players can now enjoy their favorite zombie franchise in a board game that seems pretty faithful.
The world has been overrun by zombies, and only one city is left standing. Run, climb, and jump through the streets of Villendor as you make your final stand. Do you have what it takes to survive?
What is Dying Light: The Board Game
Dying Light: The Board Game is a 1-4 player cooperative narrative game where players must survive in Earth’s last remaining city. The game features dynamic dice mechanics, an impactful day and night cycle, and an adrenaline-fueled parkour and combat system. I’ll have to see more, but the game promises an authentic and unique system.
As for game pieces, the game comes with a double-sided board and easy-to-build modular terrain ensuring that all your games will be different. There will be two editions of the game: Standard and Deluxe. The Standard Edition will include 76 cardboard game pieces while the Deluxe version will have high-quality 32 mm plastic miniature versions. The minis look very cool, but I definitely would need to learn how to paint.
Both versions include:
- 4 Runers
- 8 Bandits
- 60 Infected
- 4 Large Infected Bosses
The day and night cycle is the game’s coolest gimmick. Mechanically, players will experience a shift in challenges and possibilities depending on the time of day. Thematically, this is the fantastic flavor for any zombie game where nighttime is always more dangerous. Visually, the board, buildings, and game pieces light up under UV light for a visually stunning and immersive experience. It looks like I’m going to need to invest in a good UV light for game night.
If you’re a fan of the game, or looking for a zombie game, you might want to follow the Dying Light Board Game Kickstarter. I like the flavor, the minis look cool, and I love that there is a solo-play option (I don’t have friends who would play with me).
People who back the Kickstarter within the first 24 hours also receive the exclusive Kyle Crane character pack, so make sure you turn on those notifications.
