Do you love The Walking Dead? Well, I think ninety percent of the population does. The good news is a Kickstarter game is live on the website today. It's called The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary, and the premise is exciting. It's brought to us by Cryptozoic Entertainment who has released a lot of really cool games like Ghostbusters: The Board Game and Love Letter. This new game is a co-op game that allows 1-4 players to enter the show's world and take on a multitude of different enemies—both dead and alive—all with their own distinctive motivations and ways of moving around the board. The cool part about it is, all of the encounters and actions of characters are taken directly from episodes of The Walking Dead.

Also, look at these cool figures…

Here's a bit more information:

"Your favorite characters and scenarios from the hit AMC show all appear. Expect to see miniatures based on the characters played by Andrew Lincoln (Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes), Steven Yeun (Glenn Rhee), Laurie Holden (Andrea Harrison), and of course, Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon)!

The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary board game is designed by Adam and Brady Sadler, who have made BoardGameGeek's top designers list multiple years in a row. The brothers' previous works include several highly-acclaimed games, including:

-Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game

-Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition

-Star Wars: X-Wing

Playable characters are completely unique from one another and have abilities that can only be shared if they are trusted by other survivors. The game has a truly original leadership component: Each player gets an opportunity—or in some cases is forced—to lead at least once each game, constantly altering the team's strategy. Defying the leader's approach to a situation will add to his or her stress and cause other characters to lose trust, lowering everyone's morale. If morale falls, all the survivors are in serious danger!"

Head on over to their Kickstarter to learn more! The campaign ends on August 1st.
