People are going missing all over a Mississippi swamp, a massive reward is offered for the suspected giant gator. Bounty Hunters from around the world flood in to compete for the prize, but what they find unites them as the hunters become the hunted. Joyland is a Co-op game for 2-5 players ages 12 and up. 1-4 players control Bounty Hunters and one player controls Shiv The Killer Clown. Players face 4 phases all with different objectives. 2 phases take place "above ground" in the park (board one) and 2 phases occur below ground in the "Freak Show" caverns (board 2). In order to "win" players must reach Shiv and defeat him.
