The second game in the Escape the Dark series Escape the Dark Sector is a simple sci-fi adventure game with a focus on atmosphere storytelling and player cooperation perfect for newcomers to tabletop gaming. It takes about 2 minutes to set up lasts around 45 minutes and no two games are ever the same. Playing as the beleaguered crew of an impounded starship players find themselves confined to the detention block of a vast space station. Along the way the crew will have to overcome a variety of dangers traps and terrors. From cyborg guards and faulty replicators to killer alien organisms each challenge is represented by a large beautifully illustrated chapter card. As these immersive chapter cards are revealed one by one the game takes on the form of a shared storybook experience with the players making decisions about what to do each chapter before using a combination of dice and item cards to complete the task before them. The goal of the game is to complete every chapter and then defeat the final boss. To win you must keep each member of the crew alive – if any player is killed the game ends immediately!
