About the game
Savage Worlds Weird Wars: Vietnam setting covering both the French and American wars. From the Pinnacle website: Welcome to the jungle, baby! Now you're gonna die! If it bleeds …you can kill it. Or so they say. But who really knows? Who knows what horrors lurk in the jungles of “the ‘Nam?” There are rumors, of course, but there are even more rumors of squads—even whole companies—just disappearing into the bush. But the brass says nothing. And the body bags just keep coming. You know how bad the booby traps and ambushes are, but have you ever wondered what dark Gods those forgotten jungle temples were built for? Or what makes those bizarre crying sounds in the remote highlands, far away from any villages? Or why even the locals fear the so-called “cannibalistic” mountain tribes? Lock and load your M-16, feed a belt into your M-60, and load another round in your Thumper, soldiers. You’re going to war. Weird War. Tour of Darkness is the Weird Wars: Vietnam game setting. It requires the Savage Worlds rules to play. Tour of Darkness includes rules for Sanity, Terror, new Edges and Hindrances, and complete Plot Point Campaigns for both the American and French tours in Vietnam. Expands: Savage Worlds

Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Savage Worlds: Tour of Darkness has a complexity rating of 4.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a heavy game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Savage Worlds: Tour of Darkness belongs to these categories: Fighting, Wargame, and Dice. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Role Playing. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Savage Worlds: Tour of Darkness are: Teller.

The catalogue lists Savage Worlds: Tour of Darkness as an expansion for Savage Worlds. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Savage Worlds to use it. Check that your edition of Savage Worlds is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
