Expansion of: Descent: Journeys in the Dark 2nd Edition

Recovered from its times of trouble and under heavy threat from the Daqan Lords, the city of Nerekhall stands firm in its declaration: “The shadow has passed.” Yet sinister forces continue to build strength within the hidden corners of the city. They prepare for the day soon to come when Nerekhall, the baronies, and all of Terrinoth will tremble before their might.

In Action Point (AP) Allowance System games, each player is allotted a certain amount of points per round. These points can be spent on available actions, until the player does not have enough remaining to "purchase" any more actions.
Action Point Allowance System
Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.

Dungeon Crawler
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management

Miniatures
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
Games with partnerships offer players a set of rules for alliances and teams. Partners are often able to win as a team, or penalties are enforced for not respecting alliances
Partnerships
This mechanic usually requires players to pick up an item or good at one location on the playing board and bring it to another location on the playing board. Initial placement of the item can be either predetermined or random. The delivery of the good usually gives the player money to do more actions with. In most cases, there is a game rule or another mechanic that determines where the item needs to go.
Pick-up and Deliver
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.

Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8 out of 10

    As I came to expect from FFG, the quality of components and quests of this expansion are top notch. The urban setting is a welcome inclusion to the already saturated tiles and themes of the dungeons and outdoors. Interesting options for both heroes of Overlord are abound. Some hero classes and Overlord cards are better than others, but is welcomed variety.

  2. 8 out of 10

    Solid addition for Descent. The heroes and hero classes are interesting. The monsters feels different than base game monsters, and would be perfect if there are more monsters in this expansion. The campaign in the app is also interesting to play.

  3. 8 out of 10

    Tons of content plus it enables a new Road to Legend campaign. No brainer as a first expansion buy for 2nd edition.

Game description from the publisher:

An ancient evil rises in Nerekhall, and each night heralds a series of sinister events. In Shadow of Nerekhall, the newest expansion for Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition), players try to determine whether outside forces are corrupting the city — or whether the city itself is rotten to the core. Shadow of Nerekhall introduces a riveting campaign, divided into nineteen quests filled with deadly monsters and traps. This expansion introduces four new heroes, four new classes, new quests, monsters, and more, as the heroes travel through the city, attempting to save it from the demonic creatures entering Nerekhall from the Black Realm.

Also integrates with Road to Legend app (Android, Apple iOS, and Steam).
