NYCC 2025: ‘Army of Darkness The Board Game’ Goes For Preorder On BackerKit
by Erik Amaya
This is one is, naturally enough, groovy.
Dynamite continues its foray into the tabletop sphere with Army of Darkness The Board Game. The tower defense game pits players against the Deadites (including Evil Ash and Evil Sheila) who would love nothing more than to possess The Necronomicon.
Per the company’s description of gameplay, “players strategically select action cards to formulate their attack and defense, but their luck will be tested as the battle evolves, unexpected twists happen in the turn of a card, and the best laid plans could be foiled. But additional help is at hand from the modern world … in the trunk of Ash’s car are various tools to assist players in getting the upper hand. And if the resources of the living world aren’t enough, dare to tap into the pages of The Necronomicon and cast a spell at your own risk. Any words uttered from The Necronomicon could either mean salvation for Ash and his friends, or damnation for the entire human race.”
An expansion will also be available for preorder, with the contents of it and the base game offers the following:
-
22” x 22” folding game board
-
44 character miniatures with the expansion
-
6 custom dice
-
95 cards
-
47 tokens
-
4 character boards (5 with the expansion)
-
1 rulebook
“Army of Darkness is the first license Dynamite acquired over 20 years ago. We have a strong passion for Ash and the AOD fanbase,” Dynamite Entertainment CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci said in a statement “This new board game is going to be a smash hit with players, so we’re ecstatic to watch it come to life.”
Those interested in preordering the game or its expansion can head on over to the BackerKit landing page for more information.
