About this deal

The monsters and baddies have a hierarchy of who they kill or wound, how they move, and where, the only reference for this is on the back of the rulebook in a block of text. The Big Bad has three plot cards which also add effects to the game such as more monsters, wounds to the apocalypse track and losing items. To fight one, an action is spent and two specific item cards must be discarded, then an Event Check made. Well, the experience of facing the demons and vampires is quick and almost a little sideline to the game; facing the monsters of the week and then finally the Big Bad on top of that makes this game feel like your own mini-series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and who doesn't want to feel like that?

Other items include garlic, crosses and holy water, each with their own abilities that can help you out. The rules are simple enough that a reasonably bright child can play, but not so simple that the game becomes boring.You have to work together, using all of your resources — including special abilities for the character that you play, whether Willow, Spike, or Buffy herself — to defend the helpless townies.

Certain effects, as well as Minions and MotW, will deal damage to the Hero and these are added to a track. The premise of the game is supposed to be a rough representation of the first four seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with one player playing the forces of Evil and the remainder of the players dividing up Buffy, Xander, Oz and Willow.

My only complaint is that the game can get a little samey after a while, due mostly to the lack of variety in heroes and Big Bads. No, your brain won’t be broken by the game, the gameplay is similar to many other co-ops, and there is plenty of randomness, but it delivers an evening of vampire-slaying goodness with some great nods to the show.
