Description provided by Ludus Vulpes on YouTube:
Check out Kirsty and Phil's playthrough of Radical 8 Games's Die of the Dead board game.
This beautifully tasteful adaption of the Dia de Muertos celebration has been created and designed with cultural consultant Darix Meraki and the artwork create by Rusembell. It uses a 'chase the lady' mechanism with the player's dice in the caskets. The casket cards advise the players on what actions they can carry out for the casket that is above that card... but beware, if a 1 is rolled, the caskets will shift and change position.
The artwork and quality of the components is second to none.
Who will progress one of their souls (dice) up to the top of the marigold steps first? Kirsty or Phil?
We hope that you enjoy the video.

About Die of the Dead, from BoardGameGeek:
A Dia de Muertos themed dice rolling game for 2-5 players.
It's the Day of the Dead and players take the roles of friendly spirits guiding souls from Mictlán, the world of the dead, to the land of the living. The first player to guide souls up the 9 levels back to the land of the living is the winner.
To do this players will choose, maniplulate and roll caskets containing dice representing souls. They will have Candles, Incense, Marigolds and the Bread of the Dead to help them, but need to hope for a little luck.
Die of the Dead has beautiful Mexican art inspired by the tales and culture surrounding Dia de Muertos. Care has been taken to make the game as fun as possible whilst staying respectful to its roots.
