Get ready to dive into a world where fiendish creatures and daring heroes clash! A Touch of Evil: 10 Year Anniversary Edition is an electrifying supernatural adventure game, where each player takes on the role of a unique monster hunter. The race against time is real: you need to stop the forces of darkness from gaining a foothold in our world.
Your mission? Investigate the town, strengthen your hero, and ultimately track the Supernatural Villain to their lair for an epic showdown. The cool thing is you can choose how to play: compete to be the first to defeat the villain and save the town, or join forces in cooperative mode to face an even more formidable enemy. So, grab your wooden stake, load that musket, and hold on to your tri-corn hat, because no one is safe from the creatures of the night... and distrust lurks around every corner, for 'a touch of evil' resides within everyone.
This Limited Deluxe 10 Year Anniversary Edition is quite a celebration! It's packed with premium components, such as plastic pieces for markers and terrain features, plus an expanded cast of heroes and villains. The highlight is an EPIC and sinister version of the Spectral Horseman, complete with its own plastic miniature, additional minions, and a deck of themed cards to unleash upon the heroes. And there's more: all Web Villains from the last decade are included for the first time in print, with their respective die-cut counters. All of this comes in a numbered collector's box, designed to hold all your A Touch of Evil expansions, accompanied by a remastered game soundtrack and a brand new rulebook that collects ten years of gothic horror. A must-have item for any fan of the series!
