Heavy Metal meets Fantasy in Book of Skulls: Slayers of Eragoth A huge dungeon-crawling adventure where two teams battle to save the continent of Eragoth. For 2-4 players in 2 teams. Teams act as the others' opponents, whilst one team controls the heroic Slayers, the opposing team will control the Demons they encounter until it is time to switch to their own Slayers. The objective whilst controlling the Slayers is to clear the overworld and defeat the final boss first, whilst controlling the Demons your aim is to defeat the opposing team's Slayers. Replay value and combat is at the heart of Book of Skulls. During your adventure, you will have access to over 150 unique characters, each with their own movesets. A game of high interactivity as players have no down time as they cross the continent, always engaged and always with high stakes. Set your overworld using 10 interchangeable modular maps (levels) that each represent a unique region of Eragoth. A different adventure awaits with each game as any number of levels can be selected and placed in any order, allowing you to customise the duration of your game. Book of Skulls is fully soundtracked with an original Metal soundtrack which perfectly sets the mood for battling the Demons of Eragoth. -description from the publisher
