About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready for a battle of titans... or rather, demons? In Demon Worker, the fight is for the Demon King's throne, and you need to be the smartest (and most evil!) to get there. The idea is simple: send your most skilled demons to the human world, weapon factories, and other key locations to collect the most valuable resources. Think of humans and weapons as collectibles for your demonic cause!
With these resources in hand, the magic (or curse!) happens: you can summon new demons to your legion or accumulate the coveted impulse points. Whoever gathers the most impulse points by the end of the game will indeed be the new Demon King and reign over all! The game uses the Worker Placement mechanic in a very straightforward way, where each dispatched demon has a purpose. It's a game with a touch of dark humor and a light horror vibe, perfect for those who enjoy strategic competition with an unusual theme. The complexity is moderate, ideal for those who already have some board game experience and want something different to liven up the table. Prepare your demons, the battle for the throne begins now!
