Description

Evil is Afoot! Fend off the malevolent forces converging upon you in Dark Gothic, a supernatural, monster-hunting deck-building game rooted in Flying Frog Productions' chilling A Touch of Evil setting.

In Dark Gothic - a semi-cooperative, deck-building game set in the A Touch of Evil universe - players assume the role of competing, monster-hunting heroes at the dawn of the 19th Century, forced to work together to defeat creatures and adversaries intent on destroying the town.

Utilizing the game’s three currencies (combat, cunning, and spirit) to purchase cards from a common tableau, players develop their own decks during play, and must avoid or contend with "Dark Secret", "Hungry Dead", and "Shocking Discovery" cards which award penalty points at endgame, or trigger negative, universal effects.

Each player represents a particular monster-hunting hero in the game, and that 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 in the 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" are a 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.
