Introduction: You awake in the dark with nothing but a candle and...have you done this before? The déjà vu is less troubling than the change it implies. Was the ground always this unstable around you? When the tunnels crumbled into pits, did they always scream? And why does it feel like those screams are getting closer? Shrieking Hollow is an expansion to our atmospheric and wildly popular cooperative, horror-themed tile placement game, The Night Cage. 1-5 lost souls still wander the otherwordly labyrinth of eternal darkness, but the expansion adds a new threat and a new space to explore. Pits now connect Prisoners to the Hollow, where The Other lies in wait, a monster with the ability to smother half the board in darkness. Over the course of play, The Other will rise up out of the Hollow and attack the Prisoners, destroying any part of the maze it encounters. If the Prisoners are brave, they can leap into a Pit and fall to the bottom of the Hollow where the dim light of their candles will hold its advance, temporarily. However, they can’t hold it back forever, and Prisoners that stay too close to The Other will be attacked when it lurches toward the flickering light it despises. Can your light hold back what waits in the dark? Note: The Night Cage base game is required to play this expansion. |
