Description

Edge of Darkness is a thrilling board game where 1 to 4 players take on the roles of powerful guilds in a fantasy city, vying for control and survival. Designed by John D. Clair, this game combines worker placement, card drafting, and a unique Threat Challenge system, making for a medium-weight euro-style game that lasts around 120 minutes. Players must navigate the city, sending agents to various locations to generate resources and abilities, all while working together to defend against great evil. As players grow in power, they can create synergies between their agents and the city's infrastructure, seeking to accumulate wealth, defend the city, and gain the allegiance of important citizens and nobles. With a modular setup and a shared deck, each game offers a unique experience, challenging players to adapt their strategies and make tactical decisions to emerge victorious.
