Dark Is the Night

To survive the dark night, a hunter must use keen wits and a trusty crossbow against a monster lurking beyond the campfire’s light. One player moves the hunter through the illuminated spaces, while the other secretly guides the monster through the darkness. With limited tools, both players work to eliminate their opponent before daybreak.

    Luck driven game. Either you are lucky with the hunter that you hit the monster, even if you don't know where it is. But as soon as you know where the monster is, it's a stupid game, because you almost have no chance to kill it. The same applies to the monster. It looks very nice, but is also a very stupid game.
