 Umbrella Academy, the board game, tasks you with one simple thing, saving the world. You'll start by choosing your favorite member of the Umbrella Academy. Will it be Space Boy, Kraken, Rumor, Number 5, or Seance? The choice is yours. Select wisely though, because each character has their own special abilities you'll need to use, if you want to stop the apocalypse. Now, choose the villain that's trying to end the world, but watch out, because they also have some tricks up their sleeves. With danger lurking at every turn, you'll all need to work together to overcome dangerous hazards that threaten to devastate the city. Defeat the hazards while trying to avoid taking wounds. Take too many, and it's game over. Make the most of special advantage cards that will help you turn the tide when things get tough. More threats appear each turn until you're ready to face the final confrontation. And as if it wasn't difficult enough, family feuds might even get in the way of you stopping the apocalypse. Try to remember to work together, even if you don't always get along. No mission will ever play the same thanks to each villain's unique hazard cards that require different tactics to defeat and are used to create the ever-changing hazard deck. And when you've saved the world once, you can do it all over again with alternative villains and all-new hazards. You're going to love this game.
