Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Min number of participants 2
Age 14+ yrs.
Safety support by adult Not required
Min duration 2 h
Cost High
Environment Indoor / Outdoor

One player is the Overlord controlling monsters while the others are heroes exploring dungeon quests — a classic dungeon-crawl adventure with rich campaign progression, loot, and levelling up over multiple sessions.

The Essentials

  • Read the full quest introduction aloud before starting, since it sets objectives and rules unique to that scenario
  • As the Overlord, spend threat tokens strategically rather than hoarding them, since unused threat carries no benefit between turns
  • As heroes, coordinate positioning before moving, since Descent rewards focused fire and punishes scattered, isolated characters
  • Track conquest tokens and campaign progress carefully between sessions, since Descent is built around a multi-game campaign arc
  • Keep the rulebook handy for monster abilities, since Descent has many exceptions to base rules that are easy to forget mid-game
