📖 About This Game

When the fires burn, it becomes dark ... The orcs have always sought to overcome the borders of the realm and devastate the land. That's why the humans have erected a chain of watchtowers: the Dark Watch! Take on the role of the brave men who oppose the orcs' raids and embark on a dangerous journey to light the signal fires of the Dark Watch and earn a place at the table of Rondra, the goddess of war, as true heroes! Adventures in a Box is an exciting new game series that lets players explore diverse fantasy worlds through easy-to-learn rules. Adventure in a Box: Finsterwacht, the first game in the series, takes place in the universe of Das Schwarze Auge. In this game, a Game Master (GM) guides players through a mix of storytelling and combat encounters. During narrative rounds, players make decisions that shape the storyline and affect future outcomes. Combat rounds are played on a board, where players face enemies represented by tokens and work together to achieve specific objectives, similar to classic dungeon crawlers. The entire game spans four sessions, each lasting 2–4 hours, for a total playtime of 10 to 20 hours. The game is won after succeeding the final fight, or may be lost anytime when all players are defeated.
