You are a traveler who has entered this remote village tavern. As you sit quietly, it comes to your attention that there is an evil lurking in this village. These people are tired and weary and don’t have the strength to fight. Will you become the hero this town needs? Explore the map, collect resources, build your character, complete the quest, and defeat the Big Bad Evil Guy!
Designed in less than 90 days, Big Bad Evil Guy is the passion project of Greg Qualls. It is an easy to learn and play game for 1-4 players where you are building your character by managing resources and battling foes while exploring a map to find and defeat the Big Bad Evil Guy. Through strategy and teamwork, the aim is to make your character strong enough to defeat the Big Bad Evil Guy (BBEG) and their minions.
After determining your character's strengths and weaknesses, your character starts in the Tavern and has to explore the map to complete their quest to find the BBEG. Along the way, you are able to collect resources like gold, fame, and experience in order to improve your character with more health and better weapons. You don't have all day though. You need to complete all the objectives before you run out of time. Otherwise, the BBEG wins and evil will reign in the small town.
