## Description
If you love the adrenaline rush of the original game, get ready: Dead by Daylight has hit the tabletop with full force! This collector's edition brings the asymmetric survival horror experience we adore, where one hunts the other. On one side, we have the ruthless Killer, on a mission to hunt down and sacrifice the survivors. On the other, the team of Survivors needs to be smart, plan every step, work together, and repair generators to open the escape portal before it's too late. The game shines in its variety, featuring 17 different Survivors and 16 Killers, each with their own unique tricks and playstyles, ensuring every match is a new, tense adventure. The simultaneous action selection mechanic keeps you guessing about your opponents' moves, while dice rolling adds that touch of unpredictability. It's a game that demands communication and teamwork for the survivors, and cunning for the killer. Brace yourself for moments of pure suspense and tough decisions, where survival depends on who is faster and smarter!
