HYPERBOREA / 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'.

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..

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.

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.

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).
