When you lose in this 'haunted board game', your builds become opponents for other players to fight asynchronously

There's nothing quite like setting up a custom, intricate hell maze in a level editor, sending it to friends, and watching as they trounce it with minimal effort. Turnbound, which debuted at today's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, is boxing up that unique brand of shame and delivering it to your door in the form of an asynchronous autobattler.

Visually, it's a board game where you place tiles on a grid. You start with a hero character—public domain sorts like Lewis Carroll's Alice and Robin Hood—and smack down synergistic combo pieces to take out opponents of increasing difficulty, drafting a build in-between battles. Being an autobattler, once you've decked out your board with trinkets and abilities, all you can do is watch and hope it comes out on top.
