About the game
Prepare to face another nightmare in A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic – Deadly Fields! This expansion adds a new dark chapter to the game, focusing on a sinister windmill and the surrounding cornfields. Picture this: a towering windmill creaking in the wind under a dark autumn sky, with evils lurking among the crops and a darkness emanating from the depths of the structure. Deadly Fields brings 16 new cards that expand the possibilities of the base game. You'll find new minions to face, allies to recruit, gear to use, and unexpected events that will test your courage. The main highlight is the new Special Location card: the Cornfields. Strategically placed below the game's center line, it adds an extra element of risk and reward for those who dare to grab the cards above it. Collecting these items within the maze of dried and evil-tainted crops could be the key to victory, but beware, danger is imminent. This expansion dives even deeper into the gothic and terrifying atmosphere that has made the A Touch of Evil series famous, offering new challenges and strategies for players who have already mastered the base game. If you enjoy games with deck-building and a good dose of horror, Deadly Fields is a perfect addition to spice up your game sessions.
