When Darkness Comes
2003-01
When Darkness Comes is a tile-based board game that combines roleplaying with boardgaming. The first core set¸ called "The Awakening"¸ deals with the undead (zombies¸ mummies¸ vampires¸ etc). The objective of the game will depend on the scenario. Some may include finding and defeating a big bad guy¸ finding a certain object¸ diffusing a bomb¸ etc.
The characters (pregenerated or created) have 7 attributes with specialized skills. That will determine the amount of dice rolled for a skill check. The mechanic for skill checks is a poker variation instead of using straight high roll. Players try to get 6 high¸ one pair¸ 3 straight¸ 3 of a kind¸ 4 straight¸ etc. There are ways of adding dice and re-rolls in the game¸ so all hope isn't lost...
Disks are placed on the tiles face down and are turned over when a player lands on them. These could be adversaries¸ allies¸ security or items. You will need to use your skills to deal with these. Victory points are awarded for certain successful skill checks¸ such as defeating an adversary. At the end of the game¸ the person with the most victory points is considered the winner and can advance their created character on (if they were playing with one).
