Back in 2015, Bright Light Media brought the blood-spattered fun of slasher movies to family game night with Mixtape Massacre, a board game that allows you to play as a slasher villain in the small town of Tall Oaks circa 1989. Last year, Bright Light Media released the Black Masque expansion pack, and they've just launched the Kickstarter campaign for a killer board game sequel called Mixtape Massacre: Escape From Tall Oaks!
In Escape From Tall Oaks, instead of playing the slashers, you become a survivor trying to live through the night and get the hell out of Dodge (or in this case, Tall Oaks) in one piece. And, if you already own Mixtape Massacre, then you're in for an extra treat, because you'll be able to attach your board to the Escape from Tall Oaks board for a Slashers vs. Survivors game!
We'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details are revealed. In the meantime, we have the full announcement and new video from Bright Light Media below, and to learn more, be sure to visit the official Kickstarter campaign for the new board game!
"Mixtape Massacre: Escape From Tall Oaks (EFTO) is the upcoming sequel to the cult favorite board game, Mixtape Massacre, originally Kickstarted in 2015. Unlike the original where you play as slasher archetypes in an every-monster-for-themselves scenario, the sequel now puts you in the shoes of Tall Oaks surviving residents.
EFTO 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 in an attempt to get 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!
Survivors 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, but watch out, as searching can also bring you face to face with some of Tall Oaks more famous slashers.
Fan favorite Killer Scenes and Bonus Tracks are back, along with new 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!
Not to stray too far from the original, we’ve kept the game retro, fun, full of jokes and horror tropes, and most importantly - approachable for gamers and non-gamers alike.
Welcome back to Tall Oaks. Now run like hell.
Mixtape Massacre: Escape From Tall Oaks will launch on Kickstarter on March 6, 2019 at 10AM EST with a set goal of $25,000. By supporting the campaign, backers can contribute to various pledge levels to pre-order copies of Mixtape Massacre: Escape From Tall Oaks, as well as additional rewards and add-ons.
