About the game
Exapnsion for Dead of Night. This pnp expansion uses a second board, same size as the first one, and a specific deck of items. The new board and the old one may be assembled together for huge scenarios (have one team start in the mall, while the other is already trapped in the house with short ammo supplies and try to rescue them, etc). The main idea is to avoid introducing any new rule, while providing new items, new rooms, and a different game experience thanks to the way the item distribution works. The expansion is free, and includes : New board New items New rooms

Questions and answers
Mall of the Dead supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mall of the Dead is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mall of the Dead for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
