The Game |
|
| DARK BLADES
introduces the fantasy element of mythical monsters and
magic, without complicating or losing the thrill of
man-to-man combat. The game is set on the Isle of Labrynthia.
The DARK BLADES EXPANSION SET includes new rules, extra
spell cards and some cut-out sections of terrain. Finally,
there are 2à scenarios to play (9 of them requiring other
games of the series).
The game system, the characters and the maps are
completely compatible with the games of the medieval series:
CRY HAVOC, SIEGE, SAMURAI BLADES, OUTREMER
and VIKING RAIDERS.
Box Contents (DARK BLADES):
> 2 surface maps;
> The map of the Isle
of Labrynthia;
> 2 sheets of die-cut
counters representing the characters in the
adventure;
> 1 booklet with the
background, rules and 4 scenarios;

how to use the characters of the game;
