You Can Now Pre-order The Deadly Premonition Board Game
Did you miss out on last year's wildly successful Kickstarter for the board game adaptation of Deadly Premonition? Now's your second chance.
Rising Star Games tabletop adaptation of the cult-classic video game reached its funding goal in just eight hours last year, and shipped out to backers last month. However, a limited retail release was also planned, and you can pre-order a copy on Amazon right now. This deluxe edition of the game will set you back $60, and comes with a few bonuses including a cloth mat, custom dice, and the original soundtrack of the video game to play during tabletop sessions. You'll also get a code for Deadly Premonition Director's Cut on PC.
The Deadly Premonition board game has been generally well-received, and can be played in 30-45 minutes by 2-4 players. Amazon will start shipping copies on January 31, so you won't have to wait. You can find out more about how the game plays by checking out the official website.
Our Take
Investing in any Kickstarter project
is always risky, so it's nice to see a guaranteed retail option after the
campaign has ended. The $60 price tag puts it on par with the Special Edition
version that was available during the Kickstarter, give or take some of the
bonuses, so if you're kicking yourself for not investing earlier, it sounds
like a good deal.
