About the game
Something rumbles deep beneath the shifting sands of sun-kissed Hellscar. Even in a land of scorching daylight, Darkness and its minions spread their corruption and evil. For generations, the tribes of men and orcs that call Hellscar home have held the Darkness at bay, and now the most fearless of these barbarians are stepping forward—but can their fury and courage push back the Darkness? Age of Darkness is a fully-cooperative strategy board game of tactical combat and dungeon-crawl style adventure for one to five players. Explore the world of Drunagor through the game’s immersive 3d environment and illustrated Points of Interest—where your choices determine the route your story will take! You need a copy of the Chronicles of Drunagor: Age of Darkness core game to play with this expansion.
