The foul forces of dark moor have amassed their legions to strike at the Capital city. Despite their well-laid machinations, something awaits them within the city walls: the realm’s legendary heroes, who have gathered to council the King. Failing to Siege the city, each overlord’s Minions must now retreat to dark moor lest they be captured worse. In retreat to dark moor!, 2-4 players assume the roles of dark overlords of the realm, each commanding an identical deck of Minions. Your goal: to successfully evade the legendary heroes and take refuge in the various locations of dark moor. Each Minion that manages to escape will Count toward control of a location, but beware of your so-called collaborators, as each Overlord also scores points for eliminating rival Minions!.

A lot of fun, highly recommended – box is too small. It’s a great game, with so many “NOOOO!!!!!” moments and plenty of strategy.Con: My one gripe is the size of the box.

Run away! Run Away! -King Arthur This game makes retreating a delightful romp. You play as fleeing monsters with the mindset of, “I don’t have to be fast, just faster than you.” Some of the game play circumstances need a little “house rules” adjudication (thus the 4 stars) and in a two player game, you almost run out of (minion) cards. Other than that, this game is loads of fun! The art is great. I would love to see an expansion.
