Begin Mastering a House of Evil Next Week with ‘Tyrants of the Underdark’

One of the more eagerly anticipated pre-Gen Con Dungeons & Dragons releases hits next week with the Tyrants of the Underdark board game from Wizards of the Coast and Gale Force Nine. Two to four players take on the leadership of rival dark elf houses as each vies to consolidate territory and power while aiming to cripple their enemies at the same time. The title arrives at your FLGS next week and carries an MSRP of $75.00.

From GF9:

Tyrants of the Underdark is a competitive strategy game for 2 to 4 players in which you take on the role of the leader of a drow house. As a drow (a dark elf) your goal is ascension to greater power through control of the Underdark.

During the course of the game, you’ll build and play your own deck of cards that represent the minions of your house and determine what actions you can take on your turn, such as recruiting new minions or deploying troops to the game map. You’ll continually refine your deck, adding new cards while removing others to make your deck more powerful.

Earn victory points (VP) by recruiting powerful minions and controlling important locations in the Underdark. The player with the most VP at the end of the game wins.
