Wraiths in this game don’t drain the life force of mortals, or need magic weapons to hit them, they’re just tough to kill and hand out terrifying amounts of damage. There are five by default (though I suspect there will be expansions) and you really must choose one of them, there is no char gen.

It’s partly thanks to the co-operative nature of the game that it gets this effect across, and here the co-operation feels like something natural and expected instead of the sense of forced jollity in what is normally a competitive medium that so pervades and spoils the majority of co-op board games.

Our last game was our best game in terms of strategy but we died with only 4 of our 12 items collected.

and an Encounter card can suddenly teleport one of you 6 tiles away from the rest or cause the game to completely change. The basic items in the treasure deck are supplemented by more powerful scenario specific items and by one-shot fortunes and blessings. If you do take it, you have the option of spending some of your hard-earned monster kills to cancel it and if you let it happen it might be a question of whether to take damage or suffer a different effect.It’s another example of a model that’s now done that I can pretty much never concern myself thinking about again. One thing I haven't mentioned yet is that each character can pick four or five powers unique to them, and while suggested combinations are offered, there's actually about twice as many to choose from, providing lots of opportunity for exploring different approaches to different scenarios. If you have positioned yourself at the edge of a tile, you can now choose to draw a tile and slap it down to expand the map.

They mention that it is a very good game with a long life span, it has great components and game play, and is better than video games. I painted everything, added Wrath of Ashardalon to it (there is a guide on how to do this on BGG), made some 3D stairs and custom play mats and tuck boxes (the latter 2 are available free at BGG). It would certainly help you to feel that you’d found a cool item to see it pictured instead of just a line of text telling you that it gives you +1 to attack rolls.If it's white, something else happens depending on which scenario you're playing (for instance, the daylight timer advances, or you get to gain a new power).
