Recently Dave Killingsworth reached out to me to check out the latest Solarflare Games title which was about to hit Kickstarter. While TGG visitors know I don’t cover a ton of Kickstarter projects, I felt Nightmare Forest: Dead Run was an interesting game worthy of sharing with our audience. The Kickstarter has now gone live, as of today, and you can check out how to play as well as my thoughts on the game below.
You can reserve a copy of Nightmare Forest: Dead Run at the $25 pledge level as the project runs through February 29th, 2016.
About the project:
Run for your life to escape a forest overrun with the furry undead in this classic side-scroller board game mashup.
While out enjoying an evening in the woods around the campfire with your friends, you notice a gentle breeze stirring the dead leaves that have fallen from the trees. With a building sense of dread, you have the unsettling feeling that those leaves aren’t the only dead things stirring in this forest. It’s a long way to the road and the safety of The City; your only chance at survival is to leave the camp… at a DEAD RUN!
Nightmare Forest: Dead Run is a card and dice take on side-scroller games like Rygar, Mario or Pitfall. You are camping in a forest with your friends as a critter-filled zombie infestation strikes in the darkness.
Blinded and frantic, you blaze your own trail. Will you be the lone survivor to get back to the car and make it out alive?
As the monsters grow ever-tougher, your decisions on when to push forward, when to utilize the little gear you can get your hands on, and when to use others as critter-bait will be the difference between success or being devoured in the Nightmare Forest.
Here’s my look at Nightmare Forest: Dead Run…
