About the Game

Stay human? In the City, it's easier said than done.

Based on the best-selling video game series, Dying Light: The Board Game sees 1-4 players assume the roles of "Runners" — daredevils trying to outlive the end of civilization in the post-apocalyptic setting of Villedor, the last human outpost on Earth. There, they have to work together to survive wave after wave of the unrelenting, zombie-like "Infected".

While maintaining an intuitive and easy-to-learn ruleset, the game aspires to provide a fresh take on the survival genre, offering both co-operative and true solo experiences. It boasts a sprawling, modular city map with spectacular 3D structures, interactive aids and hazards, an original, adrenaline-fueled parkour and combat system, a menagerie of ghastly enemies, and an impactful day-and-night cycle. Spicing things up is a dynamic narrative that sees the players struggling to stay on the good side of the different factions running the city, forcing them to swiftly adapt to newly revealed threats and rapidly shifting alliances.
