Grab your boomstick and head to the cabin for a groovy game of Evil Dead 2 1%! 1% is a game of strategy and probability, with a touch of misdirection. Ash has battled the deadites, he’s fought his own hand, but can he roll two 0s? If you can outlast your opponents, you’ll be rewarded with a choice: Do you roll the dice and try to win? Or do you take the pages from the cursed Necronomicon to increase your chances of a win next time? If there is a next time, that is! Take too long, and another player could snatch victory away from you. During each round, players bid for the chance to roll the dice to win the game or to take cards to increase their chances the next round. The first player to roll double zero (0 on two dice), wins. —description from the publisher
