ABOUT ADVENTURE PACKS

Adventure packs are designed to expand and deepen your adventures.You must have a copy of Escape the Dark Castle to use one.

In terms of content, each Adventure Pack follows a similar format - adding new chapters, characters and items to the game. Each pack also introduces a new mechanic which brings a little more complexity - but these new elements are always optional.

You can play the chapter cards from an Adventure Pack in order (as in, not shuffled) as a standalone themed quest of it's own.

Alternatively, you can mix the new chapter cards into the contents of the main game for even greater variety.

If you change your mind later, you can easily separate the cards by set, using the unique codes subtlety printed onto each card.

The idea is that you can pick and choose before each game from among all the cards in your collection, which cards and rules you'd like to play with this time. So, you can tailor the game to your taste and level each time you play.

For example, maybe you want to play the chapter cards from the base set, but with the Curses mechanic from Adventure Pack 1, and also the Companions from Scourge of the Undead Queen. No problem!

Think of the Escape the Dark Castle range as something of a toolkit.

With the wealth of components at your disposal you can craft endless combinations of exciting adventures, and the organiser inside the new Collector's Box makes this easier than ever before.

The choice is yours!
