Four Against Darkness: Expanded Edition

About this board game

Four Against Darkness: Expanded Edition is a 2025 dungeon-delving game for 1–4 players, designed for solo play, cooperative sessions, or adventures guided by a game master. With this 208-page PDF, a pencil, two dice, and grid paper, you can create and explore dungeons through dice rolls and your choices.

Choose four heroes from a list of 20 character classes, equip them, and lead them into the unknown. Each expedition combines exploration, tactical decisions, and risk management as your party fights monsters, manages resources, searches for treasure, and deals with the dangers hidden within the dungeon.

• Explore dungeons generated by dice rolls and player choices
• Fight monsters, avoid traps, and uncover clues and secrets
• Find equipment, collect treasure, and manage limited resources
• Accept quests from monsters and face the consequences of your decisions
• Develop more powerful heroes—if they survive

This expanded edition adds new classes, spells, foes, equipment, and environments to the core dungeon-delving experience. It also includes two short adventures and all the tables required to play, giving your group additional content for its next expedition.

Four Against Darkness: Expanded Edition is compatible with all published supplements, making it a flexible foundation for expanding your adventures. Whether you prefer a solitary challenge, a cooperative dungeon crawl, or a game master’s guidance, it offers a compact way to create dangerous fantasy quests with only a few essential supplies.
