Buffy the Vampire Slayer Mystical Parlor Games


MILWAUKIE, OR—Twentieth Century Fox Licensing and Merchandising and
Dark Horse Comics are proud to present two magical products that are
sure to provide hours of sleepless slumber parties this fall. Joss
Whedon's mythology comes alive with the official Buffy the Vampire
Slayer Tarot Deck and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations
with Dead People” Board!

Named for an award-winning episode from Season Seven of the BVS
television series—and written by Buffy Season Eight: Wolves at the
Gate author Drew Goddard—the Buffy the Vampire Slayer
“Conversations with Dead People” Board is a great game for fans,
in this world and the next, to communicate with each other about
life, death, and other mysteries. In the tradition of the Sunnydale
Hellmouth, through which countless entities gained entry, fearless
souls can let voices from the other side guide the planchette along
the board to spell out the answers to their queries. Folks can
channel their inner Willow and hone their witchy skills, providing
hours of fun for the whole séance! Accompanying the game board and
planchette, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead
People” Board includes an exclusive, comic-style instruction book
featuring sequential art by Buffy SeasonEight guest illustrator Paul
Lee!

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck was written and conceived by
renowned tarot writer Rachel Pollack, author of twelve books on the
tarot, including the renowned 78 Degrees of Wisdom. She teams with
long-time Buffy artist Paul Lee to create this fully painted 78-card
deck, drawing on characters, themes, and legends from all eight
seasons of Whedon's masterpiece. This special deck was created by
Pollack not merely as a collector's item, but as an actual, working
tarot deck: the cards come with a book explaining their divinatory
meanings and use. The traditional symbols of the tarot are
reinterpreted through the vision of Whedon's Buffy universe.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People”
Board and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck will both be available
in September 2008 and retail at $24.99-$29.99
