Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) is a board game in which one player takes on the role of the treacherous overlord, and up to four other players take on the roles of courageous heroes. During each game, the heroes embark on quests and venture into dangerous caves, ancient ruins, dark dungeons, and cursed forests to battle monsters, earn riches, and attempt to stop the overlord from carrying out his vile plot.
With danger lurking in every shadow, combat is a necessity. For such times, Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) uses a unique dice-based system. Players build their dice pools according to their character's abilities and weapons, and each die in the pool contributes to an attack in different ways. Surges, special symbols that appear on most dice, also let you trigger special effects to make the most of your attacks. And with the horrors awaiting you beneath the surface, you'll need every advantage you can take...
Featuring double-sided modular board pieces, countless hero and skill combinations, and an immersive story-driven campaign, Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) transports heroes to a vibrant fantasy realm where they must stand together against an ancient evil.
Compared to the first edition of Descent: Journeys in the Dark, this game features:
I have been a big fan of Descent since way back.....I just had to get this game....
I did find it to be a different experience from the original edition, which was an intense dungeon crawl feel.
As a mini-painter, I find the figures are of excellent quality!
You can play the campaign, play a dungeon, make your own, and even use this for D&D. It's easy to play and lets you throw in some extra fun if you want. One of the more flexible games I've ever played.
A spiritual sucessor to HeroQuest. Awesome dungeon crawl. After a few campaign quests, you can begin designing your own dungeons. You don't even need to have someone play the overlord. Just leave out the Overlord deck and have the enemies use basic swarm tactics.
Descent has a lot of fun elements but this really depends on having a good DM running the show... Unless you use the Road to Legend app. The app makes it possible to not only play a fully co-op campaign as well solo but it also ties the world together with an overworld between quests and does the record keeping for you. It mixes in tiles and monsters from your collection nicely to keep things new and, while it doesn't include the DM campaigns and quests, it has some new ones for free and more for purchase in-app.
Its tricky being the overlord as you are kinda responsible for the majority of the player's good time. But its full of excitement and some good scenarios. The campaign is a nice addition compared to last edition.
