Dark Shadows Card Preview Examples

Here are some example cards from the Dark Shadows pack, with the original cards on the left for comparison.  If you find any of the Dark Shadows expansion distasteful, remember it is only an optional add-on and not required for play.  If you do happen to choose to add Dark Shadows to your pledge you can simply swap in the alternative art card, or shuffle it into its encounter deck in addition to the original version as appropriate (with Night cards you will have to choose one or the other).  There may be slight changes between the layouts or saturation of the cards below, but don't worry, that's only because I popped the images together in PhotoShop (you'll have to forgive blogspot's horrible image formatting too). 

The original Scion of Flesh below, though gorgeously disgusting, has also been carried over to join our menagerie of monsters for our upcoming pure horror board game Sublime Dark...

Delve into the shadows...

Far along the Eastern Frontiers of Kilforth, the malignant gloom has returned. The Ancients lurk in the shadows, conducting their terrible affairs once more. New, terrifying and pernicious creatures emerge from beyond the veil. But as new threats rise, new heroes gather their arms and their wits to meet them. From the frail safety of the ancient Shrine of Moneshoba, a small band of heroes ventures forth. Time is fleeting, the enemy numberless, and the Ancients voracious. Through the descending gloom, against all odds, the heroes must prove themselves worthy, lest their sagas fade into legend. Welcome to the Shadows of Kilforth… the sequel and stand-alone expansion to Gloom of Kilforth.

Sound like the fantasy world for you? Funded in just 42 minutes join other like-minded backers in securing your game now on Kickstarter.

The game involves 1-4 heroes working cooperatively, or racing against each other, to brave the perils of the gorgeous eastern wilderness of Kilforth. Explore ancient ruins, solve mysterious quests and survive terrible monsters. Unimaginable treasures and untold riches reward the bold, and horrific fates await the foolhardy.

And what’s more, Shadows of Kilforth is compatible with the original game Gloom of Kilforth. New players can enter the world of Kilforth fresh through either game, and existing backers get to breathe new life into their game world by discovering new adventures. This all results in plenty of new experiences in a new area of the same world.

See you in Kilforth!
