Dead Cells: The Rogue-Lite Board Game

Dead Cells: The Rogue-Lite Board Game invites you into an exhilarating dungeon-crawling adventure that blends cooperative gameplay with the thrilling elements of the rogue-lite genre, all inspired by the beloved Metroidvania style. Perfect for 1-4 players, each play session runs approximately 45 minutes, making it an ideal choice for both game night enthusiasts and casual players.

Embark on an epic journey across the ever-evolving island of Dead Cells. Prepare yourself for a cycle of exploration, combat, and resurrection: Explore. Kill. Die. Mutate. Repeat.

Choose from four unique Beheaded characters—wait a minute, isn't it supposed to be just one? Get ready for a mind-bending adventure as you return from the dead with little understanding of your ultimate quest.

• Explore Biomes: Navigate a sprawling, dynamic castle where every choice matters. Will you enhance your character's powers with a precious scroll, equip a powerful weapon from a chest, or discover hidden runes that unlock new paths? Be cautious—this perilous territory is teeming with horrors born from the Malaise.

• Kill Enemies: Each character class boasts distinct powers and a unique deck of action cards. In every enemy encounter, strategically select one action card to guide you through all phases of battle. Defeat foes to loot valuable equipment, gold, scrolls, and Cells to increase your strength, but stay vigilant... Your health is limited, and the danger is ever-present.

• Die: Remember, your Beheaded heroes are venturing into treacherous dungeons. A single misstep or an overwhelming mob might spell your doom, leading to the loss of all your scrolls, gear, and gold. However, don’t despair! In death, you retain your precious Cells to…

• Mutate: The Collector allows you to spend your Cells on permanent mutations that enhance your abilities... for good! Choose upgrades from three powerful decks: Brutality, Survival, or Tactics. Acquire action cards for your deck, gather blueprints to expand your loot, boost your health, unlock extra item slots, and much more. Feeling risky? You might be tempted to toss some Cells into the mysterious well—glad you're making decisions, but is that really wise?

• Repeat: Death in this game isn’t the finale—it's just the beginning! Since you've lost your head, there’s no reason to slow down. As the cycle resets, harness your newfound mutations to take vengeance on your previous slayers. Delve further into the island, confronting fearsome bosses to unlock new starting biomes. The previously traversed areas will transform, presenting new challenges and spawning even mightier foes—who knows how far this journey will go?
