Mistfall (2015)

About this game

Mistfall is a fully co-operative adventure game set in a fantasy world of mystery, eldritch powers and high adventure. At the start of the game each player chooses a hero with a fixed deck of equipment and power cards, before embarking on a dangerous journey through a set of monster-ridden locations. Each hero also comes with a pool of advanced abilities that can be added to their basic deck during the game to customize and expand their powers. A variable board setup, randomized encounters and enemies, a simple but robust monster AI – all that makes for a game that is a varied and challenging experience both solitaire as well as with a group of up to three friends. Gather up your resolve, check your gear and get ready to brave the unrelenting Mists. A world of perilous adventures awaits!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 4.0/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
