Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Friends & Frenemies

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Board Game, players take on the roles of their favourite Characters from the television show, and work together to defeat a Big Bad (major villain).

To defeat the Big Bad, the players must first defeat three “Monsters of the Week” and research the Clues they drop to uncover the Big Bad’s plot and weaknesses. While the players work to save Sunnydale, the Big Bad’s influence grows and Vampires and Demons prey on the town, Killing Townies and dealing Wounds to the Characters. If too many Townies are Killed and/or too many Wounds are taken, the game is lost!

Each Round, players have 3 Basic Action Tokens to play that allow them to perform Basic Actions such as moving, fighting, and researching, and 1 Special Action Token that allows them to perform their unique Special Ability or any Basic Action. Players take turns expending 1 token at a time until all of their tokens are expended. Then, all of the Baddies that are still in play activate, Killing Townies and Wounding players.

The Friends & Frenemies Expansion includes six new characters: Dawn, Riley, Tara, Anya, Faith, and Oz, who can be either human or werewolf; two new big bads (Spike & Drusilla, and Dark Willow); and a new board expansion that includes additional Initiative locations.
