There's a BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Board Game Being Released This Year
Return to Sunnydale to defend it from vampires in an upcoming new board game based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Jasco Games has teamed up with Lynnvander Studios to develop the game, which is called Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Board Game. They've hired Thomas M. Gofton (Albion’s Legacy, Deep 5) to design it.
The cooperative board game has players take the role of Buffy and her friends as they defend the town of Sunnydale from an onslaught of vampires and demons. There is also the goal of unraveling the plot of the real Big Bad, who is scheming to open the Hellmouth. Players must work together using all their resources, including character’s special abilities, to help the defenseless residents of Sunnydale.
1 to 6 players can play the game, and it only lasts for a 40 to 60 minutes, which is about as much time as I can handle for a board game. I assume some of the characters used in the game could include Willow, Xander, Giles, Tara, Cordelia, Faith, Angel, Oz, or others.
As cool as this is for the fans, I'd much rather see an awesome open world video game bring these characters back to life.
The board game will be released on October 28th and will run for about $39.99.
