Descent Board Game

In Descent Journeys in the Dark, bold heroes brave treacherous dungeons, facing traps, monsters, and even worse dangers in the battle against evil and the search for treasure and glory. Battling over a modular game board, the Heroes and Overlord alike must use all their cunning to be victorious in this tactical dungeon-crawling board game.

PLAYERS
Two to five players can play, with one player taking the role of the Overlord and the others controlling Heroes. The Overlord player controls the dungeon, including the monsters, traps, and dark magics found there. Between two and four Heroes, controlled by the remaining players, will stand against him.

QUESTS
Each game of Descent Journeys in the Dark is a single quest against evil. Since each quest has unique victory conditions, special rules, and monsters and a unique dungeon layout, Descent: Journeys in the Dark is an incredibly replayable game. Nine quests are included in the basic game, with more available in each expansion.

HEROES
Descent Journeys in the Dark includes twenty Heroes, each with its own statistics and detailed plastic figure. (More Heroes are included in expansions!) Heroes have health, fatigue, and speed scores, an inherent armor value, and variable levels of skill with melee, ranged, and magic attacks, as noted on their character sheet. They also have a special ability and a total of three skill cards drawn from three different skill decks, as noted at the bottom of their sheets.

For example, Mordrog has high health (heart) but low fatigue (sweat drop). He has a high inherent armor score (shield) but a low speed (boot). He is very good at melee attacks, rolling an extra three black dice when he wields a melee weapon (represented by the three black cubes on his melee trait icon). His special ability allows him to spend fatigue freely to enhance his attacks and movement, secure in the knowledge that he'll just get it back when the Overlord tries to kill him. Finally, Mordrog, as a melee specialist character, draws all three of his skill cards from the Fighting deck.

OVERLORDS AND MONSTERS
While each Hero player controls a single model (or perhaps two in a two-player game), the Overlord controls every monster in the dungeon. As the Heroes delve deeper and reveal more rooms, the Quest description will tell the Overlord which monsters to place on the board. Individual monsters are usually weaker than the Heroes, but there are many more of them
