About this expansion

Darkest Night: On Shifting Winds is an expansion for 1–4 players that adds new heroes, threats, treasures, Events, and Artifacts to Darkest Night. A copy of Darkest Night is required to play.

The necromantic doom continues to change, bringing distinct new dangers rather than a single, unchanging darkness. As the winds shift, each new challenge must be confronted as it arrives, with discoveries that may offer help against the growing evil.

This expansion introduces four playable heroes: the Ranger, Scout, Wayfarer, and Wind Dancer. It also adds eight new blights, expanding the variety of evils that can appear during your struggle.

  • Four new playable heroes
  • Eight new blights
  • New treasures to search for
  • New Event cards
  • New Artifact cards

New treasures and Artifacts provide additional discoveries, while the Event cards bring more variety to the challenges faced by the heroes. Together, these additions broaden the content available in Darkest Night without requiring the first expansion.

On Shifting Winds can be used either on its own as an expansion to the base game or together with With an Inner Light. With a complexity rating of 4.5 out of 9 and a solitaire suitability rating of 9 out of 9, it is particularly well suited to solo play while also supporting groups of up to four players.
