The premise is a bit stretched but it’s fun. It’s a long adventure (you may need as many as 24 tiles to reach the final boss).

The other games in this series have tokens for the villains but this is the only game with a full set of these tokens. These are used in some specific adventures but some players use them for all adventures (sometimes a corridor is quiet and sometimes you have a patrol). This set includes a set of monster tokens that can be used to vary the number of monsters when you draw a new tile. This game’s strength is in flavor and straightforward mechanics. Unique MechanicsĪs Castle Ravenloft was the first game in the series, it is naturally the lightest when it comes to special mechanics. These were probably brought by Klak, so they are here for the story line rather than the general nature of the setting. While the spider is not strong thematically, it does fit in a dark castle fitting. Five are undead (very appropriate for a castle ruled by a vampire), one is a gargoyle (fitting in any old castle), and two are associated with vampires (rats and wolves). The monsters in this set fit very well thematically. A flesh golem (probably one of Klak’s creations).Klak (a kobold sorcerer that oversees Strahd’s arcane experiments).Zombie dragon (this allows us to have a dragon even when we have a random boss).Gravestorm (a dracolich – we need a dragon and an undead one is most appropriate).Strahd (the vampire that owns Castle Ravenloft) – this is the main boss in the game.


There are eight villains that you can face in this game: Thorgrim (Dwarf Cleric) – can heal a nearby companion.Kat (Human Rogue) – good at disabling traps.Immeril (Eladrin Wizard) – adds attack bonus to nearby companions.Arjhan (Dragonborn Fighter) – adds AC bonus to nearby companions.Allisa (Human Ranger) – good at scouting tiles.50 Power cards (10 for each character, generally by class).30 Monster cards (3 each of 10 different monsters).Today, we will take a look at the first of the Dungeons & Dragons board games: Castle Ravenloft.
