About this expansion

Catacombs: Dark Passageways is a card-based mini-expansion for the original Catacombs game, for 2–5 players with a play time of 30 minutes.

This expansion adds new exploration room cards to the Catacomb. As the heroes explore, these cards introduce exciting effects that can change what happens during their quest.

The passageways may conceal unexpected benefits for the heroes. These discoveries can aid their efforts as they work toward completing their quest, adding fresh possibilities to exploration in the Catacomb.

However, the heroes are not the only ones who gain new options. The Overseer, who controls the monsters, can also use the expansion to unleash new dark powers and thwart the heroes’ efforts.

  • New exploration room cards for the original Catacombs game
  • Unexpected benefits that can help the heroes
  • New dark powers available to the Overseer

Catacombs: Dark Passageways brings opposing possibilities into the exploration deck: a room may reveal help for the heroes, while the Overseer has new ways to hinder their progress. The result is an expansion focused on the effects discovered while moving through the Catacomb.

Released in 2011, this mini-expansion is designed for games of Catacombs with 2–5 players. Its card-based format adds new exploration effects while retaining the original game as its foundation.
