Darkest Night: Second Edition Begins Kickstarter Run for VPG

May 3, 2016

Today marks the Kickstarter launch for an all new edition of Darkest Night from Victory Point Games. As one of the best selling titles – if not THE best selling – from VPG, Darkest Night (designed by Jeremy Lennert) tasks up to four players with destroying the dreaded Necromancer and his legions before all is lost and the world is forever shackled by his black arts. This co-operative fantasy game promises challenges aplenty and hard fought victory is only achieved through clever choices, advantageous die rolls, and working together as a team.

You can reserve your copy of Darkest Night at the $79.00 pledge level. Plus, stay tuned for our first look video when it hits later today!

From VPG:

A great shadow has fallen over the kingdom as the undead continue to multiply under the control of a dread Necromancer. The king’s army is broken, the lands overrun, and now the Castle has fallen. The last of the kingdom’s heroes have taken refuge in the hallowed ground of the Monastery, where the Necromancer and his dead dare not tread… yet. As he tightens his grip on the land and builds his power for a final assault, a few brave souls seek a way to fight back….

Darkest Night: Second Edition, by designer Jeremy Lennert, is a cooperative game where you and your friends take on the roles of one or more heroes — each with a unique set of special abilities — as you embark on a quest that is the last hope for the land. Search the kingdom for new powers and equipment to strengthen your cause. Discover keys that can unlock Holy Relics that can vanquish the Necromancer. You will have to balance the actions of each hero to fight the undead, elude the Necromancer’s forces, improve the chances of finding items and artifacts, and more. As the game progresses, the more powerful the Necromancer will become, and eventually he will overwhelm everything and everyone. It is up to you and your party to push back the darkness and win the night.

1-4 co-op and solitaire gameplay.
Choose from several heroes, each with unique abilities.
Find artifacts, items, and relics to empower your party.
Confront the undead as the Necromancer builds his power.
