Description

Manufacturer: Mantic Games

Inspired by the best-selling comic book series from Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá! Umbrella Academy: The Board Game is an easy-to-learn board game for up to five players.

Choose from Space Boy, Number Five, Séance, Rumor or Kraken, then make the most of your incredible abilities to try and save the world! But being part of a dysfunctional family of superheroes isn't always easy; long-lasting feuds can mess up your best laid plans.

To win, they must overcome a succession of dangerous hazards and defeat dastardly villains in order to save the world! Each player has a hand of cards they can use to place Battle Tokens on potentially dangerous hazards and villains, or trigger special abilities unique to their chosen Hero.

Each turn the countdown to the apocalypse edges ever closer, as threats spread throughout the city. Can you defeat them all in time? The fate of the world is in your hands!
