Product Information

Once you pick your location (through a double-sided board) you and the other players roll a Skill Check Die and place your Survivors, and the Killer player does the same. Across the table, a cunning Killer stalks after them, attempting to wound and capture them for sacrifice on the many gruesome hooks hidden throughout the trial grounds. However, Talton insisted that future expansions would only be released if the publisher could ensure that players’ experience of the upcoming board game wouldn’t be negatively affected by the extra content. Dead by Daylight: The Board Game contains high quality and carefully crafted game components including figures, cards with illustrations from the game and a game board representing the game field. At this point, the game really opened up and again that simple decision of which card to pick became excitingly complex.

Just like in the original video game, the board game version is a mostly cooperative affair that has players looking to start generators around various locations to power the exit gates, allowing you to escape.

Paths are the squares between the actual spaces on the board, and the yellow square with the arrow coming out of it is a vault path. Dead by Daylight: The Board Game embraces its theme and brings players into the game with ease, and those who jump into this survival scenario will not regret it in the least. Then you all strategize and figure out where you want to go through Movement Cards, and since you can only move once per turn (without taking a Bonus Action), you need to really consider your move and what it allows you to do while also factoring in where you think the Killer might move to.

The game is very fun and I have cousins that played it with me (also board game lovers), they don’t even play DBD and they enjoyed it. If you're the Killer, you want to accumulate 8 sacrifice progress, which you get by sacrificing Survivors on the hooks found throughout the trial grounds. So he's not in danger of killing someone in one round, which he could in theory with two activations. Dead by Daylight looked to capture the spirit of classic horror franchises like Halloween and Friday the 13th, and now Level 99 Games is attempting to capture that same spirit with Dead by Daylight: The Board Game. The only downside I can potentially see is that the game is virtually random dice-free and is all about planning and tactics, thus experienced players are able to make it for an inexperienced killer incredibly hard.Now, as much as the board game captures its source material, it’s also held back by maintaining its faithfulness. These are definitely not half-baked miniatures that don't match promo images or renders at all, as some Kickstarter original games sometimes have.

The same goes for the Killer, who has his own unique Power and three Perks to choose from, and it's just as important for the Killer player to keep these in mind when taking your turns. Crows can be used to give Bonus Turns to Survivors, but Killers can take them out and net Bloodpoint Tokens.
