Descent

Journey in the Dark

 

Descent combines elements of a tactical board game with a classic fantasy role playing game. One player represents the overlord with no interest in success of the heroes, His aim is the failure of their mission and his material gives him supernatural powers. Up to four heroes need cooperation and utmost deception to persevere. Boards are variable, scenarios given, the mechanism follows well known paths, on enters rooms, turns over tiles, executes events, collects objects and fights monsters.
