Helluva Boss Launches Helluva Card Game Kickstarter

If you’re familiar with Amazon Prime‘s Hazbin Hotel, and ONLY Hazbin Hotel, you’re only getting part of the story. Vivienne Medrano’s Hellaverse started with a series of shorts on YouTube, Helluva Boss, that take place in the same world but follow different characters. Soon the entire saga will be in one place as Amazon is set to get Helluva Boss added to the library next week, featuring a new version of the pilot. But before then…there’s the card game.

The creators of the show have been working on Immediate Murder Professionals: A Helluva Boss Official Game, which uses the same premise and setting. You and your friends play the members of IMP, hired as demon assassins to enter the mortal plane and take out targets that the souls of the damned pay for revenge against.”Your Asmodean Crystal lets you reach into the mortal realm, but the portal is fickle, twisted by spells, sabotage, and nasty imp-terruptions from your rivals,” reads the official description. “When five summon cards hit, the portal slams shut, and everyone is sucked back to hell. Only one killer comes out on top. Will it be you?”

Now here’s the most impish thing. This Kickstarter was meant to launch later today, but someone hit the trigger six hours early. Even though it had no problem meeting its initial goal in seconds with no warning, it also meant most were not ready to catch a super-limited tier that offered the retail version of the game for $1 and the Grimoire edition for $6. Rats. The rest of us will have to choose from the normal tiers: the retail version, for a $29 pledge or  the exclusive Grimoire version for $69. It’s worth noting the non-Kickstarter release of this game will sell for $40, so you’re still saving cash….just not, y’know, as much as SOME.

The Grimoire edition comes with acrylic standees for the characters, an additional character option, a slipcover case that looks like the grimoire from the TV series, and all stretch goals. Immediate Murder Professionals: A Helluva Boss Official Game is projected to deliver to backers next April.
