About the game

What you do in a play session

Listen up, folks! The night in Dark Gothic isn't just filled with scary monsters. There are also underworld characters lurking about – smugglers, cutthroats, and thieves hiding in the shadows, moving crates of stolen goods and selling secrets... for a price, of course! This 15-card supplement for the Dark Gothic deck-building game introduces exciting new additions: Gear, Allies, Minions, and more. Some of these cards utilize the new 'Roaming' mechanic, first seen in the 'Colonial Horror' expansion. And that's not all: a new set of 'Dusty Crate' cards! You can snag these boxes cheaply and, with a bit of luck, discover what's inside. Who knows what you'll find when cracking open a Dusty Crate from a Smuggler's Den? One thing's for sure: the fun of finding out is guaranteed! Get ready to add more danger and opportunities to your dark journey, where every card could be the key to survival or doom.

Is the smuggling theme important here?

Yes! The expansion heavily focuses on the idea of dealing with smugglers and illicit goods, adding an extra flavor to the game.

Is it much harder than the base game?

It adds more options and a bit more complexity with the new mechanics and cards, but the overall difficulty still heavily depends on the base game and your choices.

Is this good for someone just starting with Dark Gothic?
