KION and Hobby World have released a board game based on the series 'Sergiy Against the Evil Spirits'

The online cinema KION and Russian board game publisher Hobby World present a new game inspired by the franchise 'Sergiy Against the Evil Spirits'.

The project started on KION in 2022 as a series that merged mysticism, action, comedy, and a romantic line. Since then, three seasons have been released, along with a feature film, and now the story has found life in the board game industry.

Viewers who enjoyed the adventures of the former priest Sergiy (Roman Mayakin), police captain Katya Zemtsova (Lukeriya Ilyashenko), and their allies in the fight against folklore evil spirits can now test their speed and attention in a dark and dangerous world.

Players battle for victory points and 'living water', which acts as 'lives' for the player. But it is necessary to soberly and quickly assess one’s abilities. Vampires can only be defeated with a stake, ghosts with a cross, kikimoras with a sword, and leshys with a staff. If the forces of darkness gather for a sabbath, the only salvation is to be the first to hide in a hut.

Quick rounds, a tense pace, and fun excitement make the game an excellent choice for groups of friends and fans of dynamic competitions (especially among those who are fans of the KION universe).

Ilya Buret, creative director of the online cinema KION and general producer of KIONFILM studio, described the project: “For KION, the release of a board game was an important step: the project 'Sergiy Against the Evil Spirits' goes beyond the screen and embraces new cultural formats. Immersion in the universe is now possible not only through watching a movie or series but also through participating in a game, which opens up new paths for the franchise into one of the largest and most popular industries of modern times — the world of board games.”

“We strive to provide everyone with an entry into the world of hobbies and give them the opportunity to interact with their favorite universes in different formats. Thanks to board games, you can not only see your heroes on screen but also live interactively with them through a familiar story. That’s why 'Sergiy Against the Evil Spirits' is now on your tables — so everyone can feel like a hero in their own adventure saga and discover new horizons of creativity and entertainment,” said the general director of the publishing holding Hobby World Mikhail Akulov.

The board game ‘Sergiy Against the Evil Spirits’ is already available at the online store Hobby Games.
