Dead by Daylight: The Board Game

In Dead by Daylight: The Board Game, a team of four resourceful Survivors faces off against a single supernatural Killer in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

As one of the four Survivors, explore the Trial Grounds, discover props, and use your unique perks while working to locate and repair generators. Repair four generators and open the Exit Gates to escape and win! As the Killer, hunt down Survivors, injure them, and place them on sacrificial hooks to summon a dark power. With enough sacrifices, you’ll be able to appease the Entity and claim victory!

Each turn, players secretly plan their movements by selecting paths to follow on the board. Every time a player moves, they reveal new board features—called props—that can be interacted with to achieve their objectives or hinder opponents.

Survivors can use a wide variety of props to aid in their survival and navigate the Trial. Killers, on the other hand, use fewer props and instead interact directly with Survivors through their attacks and unique powers. Each Killer has a different ability that completely changes the way the game is played. Both Killers and Survivors have perks that grant them special abilities. Experienced players can customize their characters with various perk setups, offering even greater replayability.

The core game includes 7 Survivors, 6 Killers, and 2 maps. The Collector’s Edition expands the experience with 17 Survivors, 16 Killers, 4 maps, and additional miniatures—creating the ultimate Dead by Daylight board game experience.
