Description

Reanimator is a cooperative mystery-story board game for 1-4 players.

Players will work together taking on the role of the narrator from Lovecraft’s original story in order to perfect the protagonist’s experimental reanimation serum.

Classic characters including Herbert West, the City Watch, and the Undead wander through Arkham to help or hinder the players as they undertake their profane task.

Subplot decks of cards will develop your story through gameplay, forcing players to respond to new adventures and challenges only the world of the ReAnimator can provide!

Players play through six iconic serials akin to the original novel series with modified enhancements from the comics.
