It's a board game... but not as you know it, Captain.

Here at Thunderbox, The Captain is Dead is one of our most favoritest board games EVAH!

Recreating the intense experience of battling a relentless alien nemesis with a band of your best buddies is a daunting task... so we decided to skip the literal approach that most digital board games take, and go in phasers blazing.

We've taken the fantastic gameplay of the tabeltop version, and fused it with an electronic crystalline entity to deliver a fast-playing video game with lasers, torpedoes, teleporters, blowtorches, scanners, aliens, tentacles, and all sorts of in-your-face, sci-fi goodness. Oh, and a phenomenal soundtrack that sounds like John Carpenter hung out with Queen for the afternoon to remix Flash Gordon.

Whilst the original board game is best enjoyed with friends, the video game has been designed to be a flawless single-player adventure. But don't worry - you can enjoy online co-op with all your mates, thanks to Steam's Remote Play Together system (and you'll only need one copy of the game too).

So park your butt in the captain's chair, and take command! Will you lead your crew to victory... or let them become space dust?
