Army of Darkness: The Board Game is a co-operative game.

In this action-assignment area-control game, you play as Ash and his allies, and work together to fight off swarms of Deadites commanded by Evil Ash and Evil Shiela. Upgrade your defenses with modern technology from the trunk of Ash's car, and stop the Deadites from overtaking the castle.

Each turn, players have a limited time to simultaneously play move, attack, action, and special cards in order to defend the various sections of the castle. After time is up, resolve your chosen cards and play out your programmed actions, rolling dice to attack Deadites. Survive long enough to use the necronomicon to save Sheila, and take down Evil Ash to win the game!
