Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Duel in the Dark to use this expansion?
Absolutely! This is the 'Complete Edition', which gathers several smaller expansions. It doesn't work on its own; you need the base game to play.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion includes a variant for 3-5 players, but the base game is for 2. So, depending on the variant used, it can be for 2 or up to 5 players.
What is the average playtime with this expansion?
The playtime remains similar to the base game, generally around 45 minutes, but it might vary slightly depending on the complexity of the new options you incorporate.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with these expansions?
The overall complexity of the base game is considered moderate (weight 2/5). The expansions add more options and tactics, which might slightly increase the learning curve, but nothing too daunting for those who already know the game.

It includes a bunch of extra bits: British Searchlight, British 3.7in QF Anti-Aircraft Gun, Railroad Flak, Skilled Gun Crew, Acoustic Mirror, Quad Flak, Ju88 Night Fighter, the 3-5 Player Variant, and 'The Walls Have Ears'. All in a pouch with its own rulebook!
Does this expansion add a new map or board?
