Dark Venture: Battle of the Ancients

Factions of unearthly beings vie for survival in a strange, post-apocalyptic world. Players control asymmetric groups of mutated creatures in solo, cooperative, or competitive tactical battles. On each turn, six action dice are rolled and spent to move units or activate faction abilities, including creating, growing, replicating, transporting, or fabricating units. Players complete objectives to summon a powerful Ancient with a unique ability. Victory, adventure, and scenario modes support battles, exploration, branching events, and campaign play.
