Coming Soon, USAopoly’s Strategy Board Game ‘IT: Evil Below” Puts You Up Against Pennywise
In the wake of their awesome IT-themed Monopoly and Clue board games, USAopoly has announced IT: Evil Below, an upcoming original board game that’s been detailed this week.
Based on the 2017 movie, IT: Evil Below puts you in the middle of Derry, Maine, where players will take on the role of the all-vigilant Losers’ Club. Bill Denbrough and his friends are on high alert to overpower Pennywise, the supernatural menace who resurfaces every 27 years with its insatiable appetite for children.
The cooperative strategy game follows the seven heroes as they traverse their neighborhood, using character-specific abilities that maintain the needed courage to defeat Pennywise and cease his mounting abductions. If just one player runs out of health, the objective is failed and Pennywise wins.
Fans of the horror franchise will be drawn to the spine-tingling portrait of the killer, visible from the game’s box top through a translucent, blood-red window.
IT: Evil Below invites 2-7 players ages 17 and up to immerse themselves in a chilling, edge-of-your seat experience. Challenge fate to overpower Pennywise in numerous Encounters throughout your journey by using specialized abilities, such as Ben’s limitless card hand, which allows him to draw a card and arm himself whenever he must fight Pennywise. Custom dice add an undertone of dread to every fateful roll, but the players must move forward and swallow fear to defeat the grimacing villain.
Here’s everything included in the game box:
- 1 Game Board
- 7 Character Boards
- 8 Character Movers
- 49 Totem Encounter Cards
- 13 Attack Encounter Cards
- 18 Pennywise Weakness Cards
- 7 Custom Dice
- 7 Bravery Tokens
- 4 Bike Tokens
- 1 Losers’ Club Strength Token
- 28 Pennywise Victim Tokens
- 1 Rulebook
IT: Evil Below will be available for $29.95 MSRP this fall!
“She’s mine, and I’m hers.”
The prison movie is a cornerstone of the cinematic landscape. Often adjacent to horror, there’s something inherently horrific about a building full of “convicts” jockeying for power. Criminal masterminds and the wrongfully convicted alike become pawns in a dehumanizing system and struggle to stay alive in the restrictive environment. Claire Denis pushes this genre to its outer limits with sci-fi and horror elements comparing incarceration to the prison of the human body. Her 2018 film High Life follows a group of prisoners turned astronauts who struggle to retain their humanity after the world has cast them out.
When we first meet Monte (Robert Pattinson), he’s raising a toddler on an isolated space station in the galaxy’s outer reaches. His daughter Willow was conceived through assault by fellow inmate Dr. Dibs (Juliette Binoche) as a part of her mission to reproduce in space. As Denis unpacks the story of this troubled crew, they slowly realize they have been discarded and forgotten. Some find freedom to enact their violent agendas while others try to retain a semblance of normalcy in the extreme environment. Essentially guinea pigs, Monte and his crewmates hurtle through space and grope for a reason to keep existing.
The Lady Killers continue Killer Moms Month with Claire Denis’ beautifully complex film. Co-hosts Jenn Adams, Mae Shults, Rocco T. Thompson, and Sammie Kuykendall chart the mysteries of the cosmos in their quest to understand the glacial plot. They’ll chat about screaming babies, space gardens, black holes and spaghetti along with heavier themes like reproduction and bodily autonomy. Why is Dr. Dibbs so obsessed with pregnancy? Why doesn’t Monte partake of the sex box? Does Mia Goth actually have a big booty and what really happened on that spaceship filled with dogs? They’ll approach the black hole and try to withstand spaghettification while zeroing in on the unpleasant themes of this exceptional film.
