Deluxe Edition

World Of Horror: The Board Game's Deluxe Edition honours the horror masterworks that shaped the video game. It includes three exclusive Mysteries, crafted with the help of acclaimed writers such as Hifumi Kono, creator of Clock Tower. These stories deepen World of Horror's chilling tribute to the genre that inspired it. The Deluxe Edition also includes five alternative, collectible Mystery End cards. Each card is hand-illustrated by acclaimed artists from the Japanese horror scene. Kago Shintaro, Kanafuro Taro, Cojima Miyako, Noroi Michiru, and World of Horror: The Board Game's Illustrator Izma offer their own interpretations of World of Horror's sublime creatures. Included in the Deluxe Edition is the Book of Endings, a reference book that chronicles every grisly fate that could befall you. The Book of Endings confronts the player with a grim conclusion to their doomed efforts to cleanse the seaside town of this eldritch terror.
