Die dunkle Prophezeiung

About this expansion

Die dunkle Prophezeiung is an expansion for The Castle of the Devil for 3–10 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes.

As every year, a coach travels through the mountains in the dark of night toward the Devil’s Castle. This journey is more ominous than ever, however, as fateful events can affect both the dangerous trip and the passengers’ machinations.

The expansion adds a significant role for the coach driver, while a traitor secretly sits among those in the carriage. An additional mysterious stranger boards the coach, leaving everyone to wonder what their arrival means.

• Two secret societies struggle to prevail on the journey to the Devil’s Castle.
• A traitor may ultimately triumph instead.
• Fateful events influence the journey and the passengers’ plans.
• A mysterious stranger adds another source of uncertainty.

With secret societies pursuing their own aims and a traitor hidden among the passengers, every decision can become difficult to interpret. The changing situation encourages players to keep guessing—and to second-guess what they should do next.

Released in 2012, Die dunkle Prophezeiung brings a darker development to the coach ride. The driver’s expanded role, the hidden traitor, the stranger, and the unpredictable events all contribute to an increasingly uncertain trip to the Devil’s Castle.
