The Last Of Us Escape The Dark: Another Official Boardgame

The critically acclaimed video game The Last of Us is getting yet another board game adaptation from the same people who brought you Escape from the Dark Castle.
The cooperative board games in this series, which so far consists of the fantasy-themed Escape the Dark Castle and the sci-fi Escape the Dark Sector, see players attempting to make it through a run of chapter cards representing various traps and combat encounters - typically with punishing outcomes. The series comprises games that can be played alone or with a partner.

The games rely primarily on a tense atmosphere and retro aesthetics, including black-and-white artwork that is reminiscent of classic Fighting Fantasy and Choose Your Adventure books, in addition to having a straightforward gaming mechanic that is powered by dice.
When confronted with battles and other challenges, the players select characters to play as, each with their own set of statistics. Success in these encounters is determined by the players' ability to roll dice following a predetermined set of characteristics. A boss card at the bottom of the deck needs to be defeated to win the game completely. It's possible that each replaying may have a different set of chapter cards, which will make for a more varied assortment of encounters.
There was no additional information provided regarding how The Last of Us: Escape the Dark will adapt the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic video games created by Naughty Dog and their story, which follows Joel and Ellie as they travel across the ruins of North America and come across infected humans as well as dangerous groups of human survivors.
However, the first image of the board game shows a board with a series of connected tiles for locations such as sewers, downtown, and suburbs; character cards for Joel and Ellie; dice; item cards; and decks of cards for both crafted items and upgraded weapons - indicating that the crafting mechanic that is central to the video games will be brought to the tabletop version of the game. The artwork maintains the same monochrome aesthetic characteristic of the Escape the Dark series.

Since then, there has been no further news on this project, and neither the release date nor any additional information has been disclosed.
The new board game, The Last of Us: Escape the Dark, is scheduled to launch on Kickstarter on November 8th, so you can anticipate learning significantly more about the game much sooner.
