Level 7) but if you are unable to decode how to play the game you are unlikely to ever reach that point.ĭark Darker Darkest is yet another zombie apocalypse survival game. It is true that some rulebooks can be terrible, with a very interesting game behind it (e.g. Then there are rulebooks that you get about halfway through a paragraph and go ‘What? Who wrote this?’, then have to spend the next hour trying to decipher what the author meant. Alien Frontiers) or devilishly complicated but highly organized rules (e.g. Some games have brilliantly simple rule books (e.g. A quarter of an inch thick? This is going to be a long and heavy game. Cheap paper? Probably a cheaply made game, maybe independently produced.
Rulebooks can be the players first impression of a game and can send a variety of messages.
For me this game was Dark Darker Darkest (or Derp Derper, Derpest according to the gaming group I subjected this to). I’m sure this has happened to many of us at some point in our board gaming lives. You immediately realize that you have made a horrible mistake. You open your new game once in the comfort of your private space and decide to peruse the rulebook. You pause momentarily, but then shrug off the thought of returning your purchase and head home. You pass a large game box with a name that seems familiar, “Oh! I think I remember hearing good things about this game!” After a few deliberations you decide to shell out the cash for the new game, but as you are about to leave the store you see another game you had your eye on after reading a great review. The board is modular, creating a unique narrative experience for each session.It begins with a trip to your local board game store, just a regular check of new releases and impulse temptations. All the creatures and other challenges are controlled by the A.I. The game uses innovative mechanisms for group-forming and mixes item management (using a color-code system), exploration, stealth, and icon-driven combat to form an intense tactical experience in a strongly thematic setting riddled with surprises and variation. Players must gather the optimal tools to open doors, control destructive fires that slowly destroy the locations of the game, and battle the endless hordes of terrifying creatures that will do anything to slaughter this fragile group, while outsneaking lurking creatures and the eye of the ever-present security cameras guarding the secrets of the house.
Dark Darker Darkest is an intense cooperative survival horror game in which a team of urban survivors try to fight the darkness in an unsettling location: the house of Doctor Mortimer, which holds the antidote to a virus turning the world into an army of undead.
