The goal is straightforward: cooperate to push the terrifying Pennywise back into his deep sleep before he wreaks havoc on the town. Each player takes on a different club member, each equipped with a unique power – from bravery to cunning – that changes how you tackle the challenges. The board depicts the city with zones that must be cleared of threats. You’ll roll dice to face encounters, draw cards that can be allies, clues or traps, and use the pick‑up‑and‑deliver mechanic to gather essential items and bring them to the right locations. Risk is ever‑present: each turn you may choose to push your luck by rolling extra dice for bigger rewards, but a failure can cost vital resources. A 40‑60 minute playtime makes it perfect for quick sessions with family or friends. The learning curve is gentle (weight 2/5), yet it offers meaningful tactical choices, especially when combining the distinct abilities of each character. Components include illustrated cards, colored dice, resource tokens and a Derry map. If you enjoy cooperative, thematic games with a dash of horror and a nostalgic 80s vibe, Evil Below gives you the "race‑against‑time" tension without overwhelming complexity. Ready your heart, gather the gang, and see if the Losers' Club can seal the clown’s lair before it’s too late. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? 2 to 7 players, great for larger groups. ### What is the typical playtime?
