But once one character has found something, even if it was only one item, the room cannot be searched again. Another character could search and the number of successes on his search role would equate to the number of items he could find there. So, in the entry hall for example, one character might search and then fail the search role. Like other games, you can search for equipment in a room, but once you find something in a room, you are done searching there. Those same symbols are used to open locked doors in the building. Each piece of equipment has one symbol on it for breaking the code into the lab. You can view a demonstration of the gameplay here:īut the real frustration of this game was all the things going on. In our play through, it led to frustration because the tiles themselves created only one path through the building to the lab. This is usually good for increasing a game’s replay value. Dark Darker Darkest Gameplayĭark Darker Darkest has you randomly choose which tiles are included, so the game board can vary a lot. Some games, like Zombicide, give you a list of scenarios and guide you to the tiles to use for each scenario. Like many cooperative games, the first thing you do is create the game board from the tiles. Setup is always going to be long the first time you play a game, but this was even longer than usual. We spent a little over two hours playing one round of the game and more than half of that time was setup. There was lot going on, which drew you out of the game to do the sort of record-keeping that bogs down a game. Unfortunately, that’s the best thing I can say about the game. The game does a good job of sticking to theme, with the player characters including a programmer and medic among others. Think Resident Evil and you have the basic premise. This is a cooperative game where the players are supposed to find the code chips to unlock the door to the lab where the zombie infection started and defeat the scientist responsible. With the price of most board games, spending $100 is a piece of cake. That’s our go-to site for gaming materials because the prices are usually great and shipping is free if you spend $100. Dark Darker Darkest by Queen Games was a Kickstarter game that we didn’t back, but found at a reasonable price on sale, probably at Miniatures Market.
