[Kickstart This] “Mixtape Massacre” Board Game Sequel: “Escape From Tall Oaks”!

Published

on

The Kickstarter has just been launched for the hotly anticipated Mixtape Massacre: Escape From Tall Oaks, the upcoming sequel to the cult favorite board game, Mixtape Massacre. Unlike the original where you play as slashers in an every-monster-for-themselves scenario, the sequel now puts you in the shoes of Tall Oaks residents!

Mixtape Massacre: Escape From Tall Oaks is a meta-cooperative game where 2-6 players attempt to escape the maddening streets of Tall Oaks by fighting off slashers, rescuing residents, and collecting essential items all in hopes of getting the hell outta town…or die trying. Though working together at times to safeguard the town, in the end only one survivor can escape.

Players choose from 1 of 6 survivors, each with their own skill sets. Explore new locations in Tall Oaks with weapons in tow while attempting your escape – but watch your back as the town’s most infamous villains will be waiting in the shadows, ready to butcher you and your pals!

Players will go through challenges rescuing victims and friends from the insanity happening across town. Along the way, search locations for supplies and weapons to assist you in making your escape. Some of these supplies will also come in handy for completing tasks to safeguard the town.

Fan favorite Killer Scenes and Bonus Tracks are back, along with supply cards and other new mechanics. Even better, if you’re an owner of the original Mixtape Massacre, combine both games by linking up the boards, increasing your town map, and turning your next game night into a Slashers vs. Survivors Party!

Follow Mixtape Massacre fon Facebook and Twitter, and order the sequel over at the game’s official Kickstarter page.
