We told you that Jasco Games was hoping to raise the failed Evil Dead 2 game back from the grave, the kickstarter was a success and the game will see the light of day after all.
As announced during the Kickstarter, Jasco will ship games to the original Kickstarter backers, new Kickstarter backers, and will also bring the game to retail.
The game, under the Jasco title Evil Dead 2: The Board Game, will ship to retial in Summer 2020, after fulfillment to Kickstarter backers in April. Designed by Lynnvander Studios, the new game uses a fully cooperative game system allowing players to either play as a team to close the portal before evil is unleashed upon the world or to betray the team for the side of evil.
Game components include 1 board, 6 player boards, rulebook, 47 cards in 4 decks, 3 cursed dice, 47 unpainted miniatures, and 89 tokens. MSRP will be $80.
The Evil Dead 2: The Board Game Extras Pack will also ship to retial at the same time as the base game. It includes 22 models and the rules to play them. Molds for these models were created for Space Goat and held by the manufacturer due to unpaid bills. Therefor the company was able to use them to produce the models for the Extras Pack, and Lynnvander created rules for their use in play with the new game. MSRP is expected to be $40-$50.
Both the game and extras pack will be shipped free to backers of the failed Space Goat Kickstarter. All backers were contacted as Creative Licensing, the licensor for Evil Dead 2, had access to the Space Goat BackerKit account, and Jasco worked hand in hand with them, to make that part happen.
