Watch Your Back! is a fast-paced combat board game. You control a team of ruthless rogues engaged in a fight to the death against your enemies. Within the confines of a checkerboard there is no rulebook and no referee, and the easiest way to a cut down an enemy is to stab them in the back. Control your lawless warriors to jump and slash their way around the board surrounding and silencing your enemies until none remain. And, of course, watch your back!
