About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine bringing Moana, Violet, Belle, and Maid Marian together for an epic quest. In Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls, that's exactly what happens. You and your friends form an alliance of Disney and Pixar heroines, appearing as radiant crystal versions summoned to fight back the shadows of infamous villains and restore the Realm of Light. It's not just about battling monsters; it's about exploration and cooperative strategy.
The game shines in its variability. Thanks to the modular board and diverse missions, every session creates a new scenario, meaning you never play the same adventure twice. You'll explore an illustrated world, encounter familiar characters, and collect essential items to progress. The dynamics involve rolling dice (with the ability to lock in the results you want and re-roll the others), managing each heroine's unique abilities, and coordinating movements so no one is left behind as the darkness advances.
The vibe is pure adventure. The feeling of seeing the map materialize as you advance and the tension of facing the epic finale make the experience engaging. It's the perfect kind of game for those who want Disney's magic but with gameplay layers that require real cooperation and planning. If you enjoy games where exploration is rewarded and victory depends on group unity, this title puts you at the center of a luminous journey against the darkness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is the game too hard for kids?
With a weight of 2.2/5, it's accessible, but requires attention to movement and dice rules. Older children and teens can play easily.
How long does a game last?
Generally between 45 and 60 minutes, which is great for those who don't want to spend the entire afternoon on one game.
Can I play it solo?
Yes! The game supports 1 to 4 players, so you can face the darkness even in solo mode.
Is the board always the same?
No, it's modular. The pieces change every game, so the map and challenges are always different.
Is it a game of luck or strategy?
It's a mix. Dice bring the luck, but the 'locking' mechanic and the management of heroines' powers bring the strategy.
