Walking Dead Universe RPG 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟 Last Chance 🎃

We have only ONE copy left of each of these great Walking Dead Universe items left on the shelf for Halloween this year 🎃

One boxed Starter Set!
One hardcover Core Rulebook!

In the Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game you will play the part of individuals struggling to survive in the hostile and unforgiving world known from the TV series. The challenges you face are never trivial, and they can appear from just about anywhere - from the lack of essential supplies, from the conflicts brewing within the group, from hidden construction flaws in your safe haven, or from an approaching herd of walkers hungering for your flesh and blood.

There are two ways to play the game - campaign mode and survival mode. In a campaign the story is not predetermined - your goals and choices, and the result of your effort while struggling to survive, create the storyline. Survival mode scenarios present you with a pre-determined and often acute problem - they put you right into a dramatic and dangerous situation that needs to be handled immediately. Also, survival mode scenarios often feature locations and characters from the TV series.

The boxed Starter Set includes a condensed rulebook, pre generated characters, and the first full length survival scenario. The hardcover Core Rulebook fleshes things out for a broader campaign setting.

Sink your teeth into the Walking Dead Universe RPG at our Canterbury Arcade store 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟

Take a stab at "Psycho Killer" this Halloween 🎃

Psycho Killer is a fast-paced, strategic and hilarious game based on your favourite retro horror and slasher films 🪓⚰️

2-6 Players | 15-30 Mins | Ages 16+

Use every cliche in the book to screw over your friends and survive the Psycho Killer!

Your turn consists of playing as many cards as you like from your hand but must end by you drawing a card from the top of the deck. However, you do not need to play a card to draw from the deck.

If someone draws a Psycho Killer they must play it on the table in front of them, unless they can evade the Psycho Killer. If they cannot, every player with a weapon card in their hand gets attacked.

When attacked, players must place their Weapon cards face up on the table in front of them. These are called Injury Piles.

Each Psycho Killer and Weapon card is worth a certain amount of points. When they are added to your injury pile they become Injury Points. The game ends when the last Psycho Killer is drawn and the player with the lowest amount of injury points wins.

Expansions also available:

Psycho Killer Z
Psycho Killer Bloody Mary
Psycho Killer Bloody Mary 2
Psycho Killer Gratuitous Violence
Psycho Killer Bootleg Booster
Psycho Killer Nightmare Street
Psycho Killer Crimetime
Psycho Killer Occult Classic

Happy Horrifying Halloween 🎃

Fight your opponent and get the flags!

On your turn, you either draw two toys or place a toy on the board and apply its effect. The game ends as soon as you capture your opponent’s base or win the required number of medals (depending on the board you play with).

-4 double-sided board for a great replayability
-Constant tension and interactions

Friday October 2nd
NZD$19 Per Booster

We were allocated just TWO booster boxes this time around. The fact that we have so few of these booster packs available means that these will probably sell out FAST! If you fancy a few we recommend you visit the shop sooner, rather than later.
