While last week’s Kickstarter for Darkest Night: Second Edition got off to a roaring start, there was still some minor confusion and concerns from potential backers – mainly regarding the new miniatures. In the end, Victory Point Games decided to make changes to the project and relaunch with the previously included miniatures available as a separate purchase. On the flip side, also of note, is the decision to add the two expansions to the core game rather than having them be stand alone purchases making this really revised and deluxe rather than just a second edition.
Now you can get everything I discussed in my first look video in one package, outside of the minis that is, for a pledge of $109.
About the project:
Darkest Night: Second Edition is a fully cooperative board game for up to five players. Set in a broken kingdom under a Necromancer’s shadow, each player takes on the role of one of the kingdom’s last defending heroes.
Searching the kingdom provides new powers and equipment to strengthen you and your party. You can also acquire additional abilities that can help you elude the Necromancer’s forces, accelerate your searches for items and artifacts, and more.
As the Necromancer gains power, more and more ravenous undead infest the land, eventually invading the hallowed sanctuary of the Monastery. And if the Monastery falls, the Necromancer wins and the kingdom is swallowed in darkness!
