Darkest Night

by Victory Point Games (of which I am a fan of their wargames)

This is on my 'considering buying if my game closet wasn't already overflowing, but may buy anyway list'.

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/128445/darkest-night

Not sure if anyone has heard of it, or played it? Most of the reviews are pretty positive. I like the mapboard and the character options. It is cooperative which can be fun..

Re: Darkest Night

Looks cool, Scaly. I've never played it.

Do you ever go to Cafe Mox in Ballard?

I have . but my preferred combo tavern/game shop is http://www.roundthetableseattle.com/ - they have a Belgian on rotation at all times, and the guys that own it are cool people (ex Garys Games). Also serve ice cream and have a great used RPG selection.

I forget what your connection is to Seattle, (family? work?), but hopefully you can make it back out and we can throw a few dice around etc.

Re: Darkest Night

That would be cool!

We were thinking we might be out at the end of May, but it's looking a little more doubtful now. Will let you know if it progresses, though.

Re: Darkest Night

Just a heads up in case anyone cares, Darkest Night 2e is coming out soon via Kickstarter, May 3rd is when the KS is supposed to launch. I think I'm going to hit it.

Thanks Scott, I'll check it out (our family has a weakness for cooperative games).
