The location boards are also a nice, large size-big enough to hold several agents, and (if necessary) a stack of cards. The main board and extensions are a brighter, close-up view of the fortress city you see on the box cover, and if you have the table space it’s worth using those boards for the uncropped view. The artwork is good: this game is set in the human portion of the Mystic Vale universe so it has a lot more humans and fewer fantastical creatures, though you do get some of those on the threat cards. Here’s the main board with extensions-you won’t usually see all the artwork because there will be cards covering portions of it. I will note that, despite all my critiques of the components, I do enjoy the game, but because this is an expensive game, I think it’s worth making sure you know what you’re getting for your money. As with many AEG titles, this is one in which there are parts that I think are done well, and some that I think could have been done much better. Plastic versions of the player aid tokens, coins, reputation, and influence/goodwill tokensĪs you can see, there’s a whole lot in the box, and a big box to put it in, but let’s take a closer look at some of those bits.The additional Kickstarter components are plastic replacements for the cardboard tokens: 75 Threat cubes (15 per player, plus 15 black). The Kickstarter stretch goals added plastic components in addition to the cardboard tokens, but since there doesn’t appear to be a retail edition, I’ll include the entire list here. Liu Edge of Darkness ComponentsĮdge of Darkness comes with a lot of stuff, packed into a monster box comparable to Gloomhaven. (Cardboard tokens not pictured.) Photo: Jonathan H. New to Kickstarter? Check out our crowdfunding primer. I’ve played the game with my 12-year-old daughter, who picked up on the rules just fine it’s set in a fantasy world with monsters, but there’s nothing too horrific or inappropriate for kids that I’ve come across. The game uses a similar system as Clair’s Mystic Vale with the transparent cards, but with many key differences. It is currently available only through Kickstarter, with a pledge level of $120 for the core game, or $40 each for the two new expansions (Cliffs of Coldharbor and Sands of Dunestar). Clair for 1 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 120 minutes to play. What Is Edge of Darkness?Įdge of Darkness is a card-crafting game by John D. This write-up will focus on the base game, with a brief mention of what the expansion adds. They’re running a Kickstarter campaign now for an expansion, Cliffs of Coldharbor, but there are also tiers available if you missed the original so that you can get the same product as the original Kickstarter backers. However, because of the scale and expense of the game, AEG has decided not to sell it in retail at this time. Today’s post is a bit of a combination between a “Reaping the Rewards” post and a “Kickstarter Tabletop Alert.” Edge of Darkness was originally funded on Kickstarter in early 2018, and was delivered to backers this summer. Four factions struggle for dominance on the Edge of Darkness. Aegis is humanity’s last bastion against the Blight that has taken over the Forsaken Lands.
