Evil Dead 2: The Board Game

About this board game

Evil Dead 2: The Board Game is a 2020 semi-cooperative board game for 3–6 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Inspired by the cult classic film, it sends players into a dangerous cabin where they must confront Deadites, search for vital items, and work toward closing the portal.

Players investigate the cabin while gathering the items and Necronomicon pages needed to stop evil from spreading. Every search and confrontation brings the group closer to its goal—or closer to disaster. If the players manage to shut the portal, they win.

Cooperation is essential, but trust is never guaranteed. Evil Dead 2 features a hidden traitor element, meaning allies may secretly be working for evil. Players must remain alert as they fight Deadites and try not to be turned evil themselves.

• Designed for 3–6 players
• Approximately 60 minutes per game
• Explore the cabin and search for items
• Collect Necronomicon pages and fight Deadites
• Hidden traitor gameplay creates shifting loyalties
• Close the portal before evil is unleashed upon the world

With its blend of investigation, combat, and suspicion, this board game captures the wild spirit of its source material. Players must balance their shared objective with the possibility that someone at the table is secretly helping evil, making every alliance uncertain until the portal is finally closed.
