Claustrophobia

About this board game

The board game ‘Claustrophobia’ is an immersive, thrilling, and strategic experience that pits human explorers against demonic creatures in the dark, subterranean depths of New Jerusalem. The game is set within the confines of a hostile labyrinth, where every turn can bring new dangers and dreadful encounters.

The unique aspect of ‘Claustrophobia’ is its asymmetric gameplay. One player controls a small group of ill-equipped human survivors, while the other player commands the multitude of demonic entities lurking in the shadows. This strategic divergence creates a captivating dynamic that ensures each game is unique and unpredictable.

The core mechanics of ‘Claustrophobia’ involve resource management and strategic positioning. As the human player, your resources are your survivors, each with their own unique abilities. These survivors must navigate the labyrinth, using their limited light sources to stave off the encroaching darkness and the horrors that reside within it.

• The human player rolls dice at the start of their turn, assigning these to their characters based on the number rolled. These dice determine the actions available to that character for the turn.
• The demonic player, on the other hand, uses ‘threat points’ to summon and control their demonic minions. These points are gained each turn and can be spent to bring more demons into play or activate special abilities.

What makes ‘Claustrophobia’ truly unique is its blend of strategy and chance, its atmospheric setting, and its asymmetrical gameplay. This combination of elements ensures that no two games are the same, providing endless hours of tense and exciting gameplay. Whether you’re a seasoned board game enthusiast or a newcomer, ‘Claustrophobia’ offers a rewarding and memorable experience.
