    The art of this game looks so similar to Darkest Dungeon, but seems to be a different artist.

      Hi, inspired by - yes. Similar, I think not. When we made the game, Maren and I looked at Darkest Dungeon, but it is way more gritty and also plays with the violence more openly. In our game, we are not showing violence or blood. Also, the proportions (DD 1) are completely different. That being said, we really love the artwork of Darkest Dungeon as well. One of the key aspects for us was that we needed a style that would work in our crazily small team in a long run - as Maren had to draw hundreds of cards :-).

In the US/Canada Wyrmgold has made a deal with Capstone Games - they will make it available in 2024! Spread the word so we can help to get it to more countries/languages! :-) And thanks everyone for your support, it really is our fuel! 🙂

    I've had this since august 2022. I like it but I would describe it as being a tough game to crack. How sneaky to be as the witch? How aggressive to be as the hunter? Length is a thing for sure. Cool I'm glad Zee finally got a change to play and review. I know he mentioned it like over a year ago. My rating was an 8.5, right between, but it could go up with more tinkering and practice.

    Card quality is different between 2nd and 1st printing. No mention of that from the publisher apart from a tiny bit on their Ks. Means the new cards dont match, very annoying.

    That Review have some issues. Here just some things.
    The Corebox is inbalanced, in my Games The Hunter Never Wins a Game, it Screeams for Deckbuilding. U ask why the Hunter is Weaker in the Core box ? Because u loose all your tokens if you shoot the wrong citizen, and the cards in the base Game dont give u enough cards to Build up fast! U cant really recover from this! Aaaaaaaand, playing the witch forgives mistakes, but playing the Hunter and dont seeing the bullet comming, its over. The Witch can change the Game very fast, the Hunter cant.
    After fixing the core issues of the Game with Expansions, than it was a good Game!
    Didnt mention the Little icons? They Are horrible Tiny!

      @@jodymitchell1678 I imagine it being 2 player would be limiting also. Vampire empire is similar, quicker but still hunting down a evil entity. The concept of a hidden identity among many has been done a few times since the 80s with hemilc and Co thats pretty abstract might work. but the only one I can think of that would avoid the act of killing/capturing would be veiled fate works up to 8. Very diffrent but explores the concept of hidden roles among many. Maybe. What are some of the popular hits with your group?
