About the game
What you do in a play session
As the cold sun sets and night falls over Shadowbrook, terrors emerge from the darkness to stalk the streets and forests! This 15-card supplement for the 'A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic' deck-building game is themed around the creatures that haunt the night. If you felt the base game needed more nocturnal threats, get ready! It introduces a set of new minions that creep in the dark, along with new events to keep you on edge, gear to help you survive, locations to explore, and allies to aid your cause.
This supplement utilizes the new 'Roaming' mechanic, first seen in the 'Colonial Horror' expansion. This adds another layer of unpredictability and tension, with threats that move and keep players constantly on their toes. It's the kind of addition that makes you stare at your deck and wonder, 'What else could possibly go wrong now?'
If you enjoy the atmosphere of 'A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic' and crave more challenges and twists, this expansion is a perfect fit. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but adds flavor and extra peril to your fight against the encroaching darkness. It's ideal for players who have mastered the base game and want to extend their playtime with more variety and an extra dose of dread. Prepare your dice and your deck, because the night is young… and full of monsters!
