The plague sweeps through town and every family wants the finest cemetery plots for its dearly departed. In Bring Out Yer Dead, you play French tarot-style cards to load your coffins onto the gravedigger's cart, swap graves, shove a rival's dead into less desirable plots, dump bodies in the river or fish them back out, and even do a little grave robbing of your own. This area majority game blends bluffing, sudden swings and dark humor into tense rounds where no one is ever safe from a nasty trick.

Easy to teach but slippery to master, this strategy game with a macabre medieval mood keeps everyone on edge: a single grave swap can flip the standings in one round. With its double-sided board that scales to the player count and stacks of wooden coffins filling the graves, this board game delivers an original theme and constant tension around the table. If you love placement and area control games with a wickedly funny edge, you have come to the right plot.

Bring Out Yer Dead is for you if you love majority games where any card can shake up the rankings, if a macabre theme handled with humor makes you grin, and if you want an accessible game that stays clever from the first round to the last.

This placement game by Arron Watts leans on simple decisions with weighty consequences: when to place your body, when to disturb your neighbor's, when to sacrifice a grave to steal a better one. The whole thing wraps up in about forty minutes, perfect for stacking up rematches.

What you need to play: nothing beyond the contents of the box, no app or batteries required.
