Now, Cryptozoic Entertainment is looking to enter the market with a new game called The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary. With success making board games for other franchises such as Ghostbusters and developers who worked on games for Star Wars and Descent, this game comes from people who know their stuff.
However, launching a board game can be expensive. Building prototypes, marketing, testing, manufacturing, and other costs make it difficult to launch something like this. To help ease those troubles, Cryptozoic has started a Kickstarter to help fund the project.
The Kickstarter, which can be found HERE, is hoping to get 250,000 in contributions and has already reached over 70 percent of that goal with the help of over 1,500 backers. Based on your contribution level, you can either get a bare-bones copy of the game, regular updates, or a deluxe version with different figures available.

The game is simple, yet complex. It’s all about working as a team, but also trying to achieve your individual goals. This balance will be hard to achieve, and is also a topic that is seen regularly on AMC’s The Walking Dead.
Here is how the game is described by Cryptozoic:
"“The game redefines the survival horror genre with gameplay that emulates the group dynamics from the series, as one player takes on the reins of Leadership and the other players can decide whether or not to support his or her choices. With every defied decision, Trust can decrease and Stress and tension can increase, diminishing Group Morale and placing all the survivors in serious danger. Each player must balance his or her own motivations (which cannot be shared with the others) with the needs of the group, making survival much more complex than simply mowing down countless numbers of the dead.”"

Playable characters include Rick Grimes, Andrea Harrison, Glenn Rhee, Michonne, and Daryl Dixon. This looks to be an interesting game which also appears to have a premium price tag attached. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be worth the price, as the game looks like it could be an amazing time for fans of The Walking Dead.
