About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a spooky race in "All Wound Up," where fun (and death!) is guaranteed! Forget ordinary pawns; here you control wind-up toys that come to life for a macabre competition in the graveyard. Each round, you and your deceased friends will take turns drafting cards, passing bundles of 4, 3, 2, and 1 card to the left. Then, it's time to play your cards to perform actions like winding up your toy (1 to 4 times!), rotating left, rotating right, or even rotating an opponent! The player who plays the most cards for a specific action wins, but in case of a tie, everyone wins. Watch out for hazards scattered across the board, which can make you lose progress and, of course, brains! Collecting these brains gives you the chance to use special abilities. The first to cross the finish line and escape the graveyard is the grand winner of this crazy race. With four double-sided boards, the variety of tracks and challenges is immense, ensuring each game is a new, frighteningly fun adventure.
