Description
In Dark Is the Night, you're dropped into a heart-pounding game of cat and mouse, where one player takes on the role of a hunter trying to survive a terrifying night in the forest, and the other plays a monster lurking in the darkness. The hunter is limited to moving in the lighted spaces around their campfire, while the monster secretly navigates through the dark, making for a thrilling game of deduction and bluffing. With simple rules that can be learned quickly, this 2-player game is perfect for a quick thrill, lasting anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes. Designed by Zach Abbott, Arwen Boyer, and Josh Estill, Dark Is the Night combines elements of adventure, horror, and memory to create a unique gaming experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat, trying to outsmart your opponent before daybreak.
