Description
Dark Gothic is a deck-building game set in Flying Frog's A Touch of Evil game series.
Each player represents a particular monster-hunting hero in the game, andthat hero determines the player's starting deck and grants a special ability. The heroes work together to some degree to defeat villains and monsters as they collectively lose the game if ten cards land inthe shadows during play. That said, the game has only a single winner– the player who has the most investigation points at the end of the game. (Villains come in three levels of difficulty, and at the start of the game, you create a villain stack with one card of each difficulty level being chosen at random.)
The game uses three currencies – combat (red), cunning (green) and spirit (blue) – with some cards having a silver cost that can be paid with any currency. Players can acquire cards from a row of six that are available from the main deck or from piles of cards that are always available. If you fight the "Hungry Dead" – an always available card that costs one of each color – you can remove a card from your deck or from the central row.
"Dark Secrets" area special type of card that get added to your deck through various means. The card is worth negative points at the end of the game, but should you draw it during play, you remove it from the game, then draw a "Shocking Discovery" – which will affect you or all players with some kind of pernicious effect.

Un autre bon deckbuilder | |
A Touch of Evil - Dark Gothic Deck Building Game est un autre bon choix quand vient le temps de choisir un bon jeu de deckbuilding. De plus il offre la possibilité de jouer compétitif ou coopératif ce qui peut être un gros plus pour acheter un jeu. Le thème est aussi très intéressant: des chasseurs de monstre paranormal au 18e siècle. Excellent! |
