Darksiders: The Forbidden Land

About this board game

Darksiders: The Forbidden Land is a cooperative dungeon crawler for 1–5 players, with games lasting around 180 minutes. Take on the role of War, Death, Fury, or Strife and battle through an entirely new storyline set in the Darksiders universe.

Each Rider has asymmetric abilities, while customizable Rider decks ensure that repeated games can play differently. Every card must be managed carefully: use cards to move, attack, interact with the environment, or spend their soul costs to activate powerful effects.

• Discard cards to attack with melee weapons, or ranged weapons when equipped.
• Discard cards to move your Rider up to the listed number of hexes.
• Spend soul costs to use equipment and ability cards, including weapons, armor, special attacks, defenses, and summoned aid.
• Use cards to open doors, trigger switches, or trade with Vulgrim the Demon Merchant.

Your deck is more than a hand of options: if it runs out, the battle is lost. Plan when to spend cards and when to hold back as you fight through monsters, reach the end boss, and attempt to win the apocalypse.

The included Campaign Book features more than 20 levels divided across multiple scenarios. Play them in sequence for a full campaign, focus on one scenario for a shorter session, or tackle a single level on its own.

With varied enemies and modular hex-tile boards, Darksiders: The Forbidden Land offers a flexible foundation for campaign play and fan-created custom levels and scenarios.
