About The Game

The Kingdom Death is not your simple board game. This game takes you on an elaborate trip into another world where survival is a victory by itself. This is a nightmare-horror world where hideous beasts reign and the best humanity can hope for is a slot at the bottom of a monstrous ecology. This is a trip you won't soon forget and neither will your friends you take with on the journey.
