About the game
"A mysterious shadow has fallen across Darkgrange. Many that were once bastions of righteousness have become possessed by a cryptic, evil force. They wander the land as unthinking husks, attacking man and beast with abandon. You recognize this sickness as THE DARKNESS, an incantation associated with the Ancient of Death, DHOREGAT KELT. You must disperse this ancient evil before you succumb to it!" CRAWL! is a solo or 2-player game mode that utilizes the components of the Dark Venture Core Set (plus new characters, items, locations, and quests), activating them in a different way with the use of encounter tokens and new game rules. In CRAWL! all Dark Venture enemies and unplayed heroes are sorted into separate decks based on their difficulty. Items are separated by type and the map is laid out, ready to explore. Tokens representing encounters are placed on each map location. When your hero enters a location, the token is flipped to reveal a possible enemy and treasure. Fight and kill enchanted enemies or disenchant them, it's your choice. BUT BE CAREFUL! At some point in the game Dhoregat Kelt, Ancient of Death, will appear and attempt to enchant your hero! Defeat him to win the game.
