WHAT IS DEAD CELLS: THE ROGUE-LITE BOARD GAME?

A cooperative Rogue-Lite game based on the critically-acclaimed video game. 

The Malaise has infected the island. Choose one the four Beheaded and leap into this cooperative Rogue-Lite experience inspired by the Metroidvania genre. In this ruthless dungeon crawler, you'll start in the Prisoner’s Quarters, explore a sprawling, ever-changing island, and slash your way through the malaise-infected horde of enemies all the way up to the High Peak Castle to defy the infamous Hand of the King. Or die trying.

Explore. Kill. Die. Mutate. Repeat.
