Dark Domains – First Edition

https://laboratoryh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/logo-darkDomains-1-648x209.png

Dark Domains is a worker placement game where 2-5 players attempt to do the bidding of a necromancer by surrounding the shining city of Harrows with evil. This is accomplished by sending minions into the city to perform tasks both mundane and nefarious. Using the resources gathered in the city, the players create a colony of their own in the surrounding countryside. Once their land is established, the players will begin their downward spiral to invoke the favor of the Necromancer. Players must use minions, henchmen, monsters & magic to stamp out the good, repel the Torin Company adventurers, and cover their domain in darkness.

Description

In Dark Domains, each player takes on the role of a city leader attempting to expand the frontier of Harrows into the hinterland. Unbeknownst to the powers in Harrows, the players are secretly evil to the core and in the thrall of the Necromancer. Once away from the bustling city and the oversight of the courts, these overlords create domains that outwardly appear to be beacons of light and hope. Eventually however, their true colors will come through and those upstanding pillars of the community will retreat to their lairs as the masquerade ends and their lands begin to decay into wastelands overrun by foul monsters and nefarious henchmen.

However, Harrows will not go down without a fight. It is home to the famous Torin Company and its never-ending supply of heroes and adventurers. Once the word reaches Harrows that darkness is afoot in the Domains, it is only a matter of time before these nosy adventurers begin to seek out the dens of horror to stop the evil.
