About the game
Get ready for more scares and escapes with the Malicious expansion for Dead By Daylight: The Board Game! If you already enjoy the tension of the base game, this new addition gives you even more reasons to bite your nails. You can now face the horrors as one of four new Survivors, each with their own unique tricks and perks that could be the key to escaping the villains' clutches. Speaking of villains, the fun (or despair) comes from three brand-new Killers, each with absurd powers and chilling abilities that will test your limits and your quick thinking. To complete the package of novelties, the expansion takes you to two new dark and mysterious scenarios: Forsaken Boneyard and Withered Isle. To add an extra touch of immersion, the game comes with 10 highly detailed miniatures that bring this horror experience to life. This expansion is perfect for fans of the original game who want more challenges, more characters, and more moments of pure adrenaline while escaping or hunting in the sinister fog. It's the kind of content that renews the experience and ensures each game is unique and full of surprises, maintaining the video game feel we love in the board game format.
