About the game
Find the Necromonicon. Recite the words. Dispel the evil. Simple, right? Take 2 to 4 of your “friends” and save the world, while trying to stop each other from doing it first. With awesome images and quotes from the movie, this fast-paced game can be played in 30-45 minutes and brings much laughter to a dull evening. This is a stand-alone, non-collectible card game for Ages 12 and up. (From the website) Players may choose to be Ash, Sheila, Arthur, or Henry (each with different capabilities in the game) and battle each other over the Necronomicon. These player cards are two-sided so that you can be Evil Ash for example during the game, too. The game uses Allies, Items, and Monsters to play off the action of the movie. For example there are Deadites, boomsticks (shotguns), Death Coaster (Ash’s modified car), etc.
