Welcome to the city of Nightmares. Now you’re Awake.

Evil Hat brings great games to the table, and we have something truly great in store for you in this Kickstarter. We’re proud to introduce Don’t Turn Your Back, a game that brings together the best of everything Evil Hat can deliver.

With a unique combination of deck building and worker placement elements, and a design that creator Eric B. Vogel has called one of his best yet, it offers a fresh and exciting gameplay experience. You might recognize Eric’s work from the villainous pulp deckbuilder Zeppelin Attack. We’ve paired Eric’s amazing design with our Mad City setting — seen in RPG form as Don’t Rest Your Head and fiction as Don’t Read This Book — and combined that with lush, psychedelic, dark, wonderful art from master photomanipulator George Cotronis.

The result is a gripping, darkly entertaining game, and once you’ve had a taste, we think you’ll agree.

The Pitch

Build your deck. Survive the city.

Walk the twisted streets of the Mad City in a boardgame that fuses worker placement with deck building. Extract dreams in the City Slumbering, and use them to buy favors from Nightmares. Procure special services in the Bizarre Bazaar. Score points through skillful play in Mother When’s deadly High School, and the sinister 13th District. Compete for the Wax King’s favor, and the ultimate prize…escape!

In this game, set in the sinister world of the Don’t Rest Your Head roleplaying game, your opponents lurk around every corner, waiting to attack.

Can you outsmart your friends and win the Nightmares’ game? Whatever you do, Don’t Turn Your Back!
