Due to the fact that the stim item cards in the current printing are lacking the discard key word publisher Themeborn has issued an erratum. When turning a chapter card, place it face up to the left of the mission deck, as though you had turned the page of a book. You might have noticed that this particular review is a little sparse in terms of photographs and that is simply because I want you to experience the rich narrative that defines Escape the Dark Sector first-hand. Read the italic story text aloud to set the scene, then follow the instructions to complete the chapter.

Important: If the SHOOT action is not declared by at least one player then Ranged Combat does not take place and no Ranged Combat actions can be taken. The component quality is very nice, and the graph used as health counters really solidifies the theme.The only real negative is the abstract and conflicting nature of the theme which given how thematic Dark Sector is certainly feels like a step away from that. To win, you must keep each member of the crew alive - if any player is killed the game ends immediately. Prepare to dive deeper into the bizarre and twisted technologies of the Dark Sector, where sinister intentions and limitless possibilities collide. I have played and lost Dark Sector many times over the course of the last few weeks and still look back at the experience fondly. It helps that the artwork is better than the first game, with the lines looking cleaner but still maintaining that same retro style that made it so unique.

If you can make your way through the station you might be able to get to your ship and Escape the Dark Sector.The formula laid down by Escape the Dark Castle (Dark Castle) is adhered to in this follow up, Escape the Dark Sector (Dark Sector). When a chapter card instructs you to begin combat , that instruction applies to all crewmembers and gives you the choice, as a group, of whether you wish to all begin Ranged Combat together or all begin Close Combat together.

Like that of its predecessor, the artwork and graphic design throughout Sector is presented in a striking, stark, monochrome. This is a significant improvement on the scattered nature of the original game’s story, and helps players to enjoy a sense of progression as they complete each act.Standard encounters that can be mixed in as is and the new time travel cards that have the same backing but are played slightly differently, requiring the rift die to be rolled and with the potential to gain a new numbered artifact card which makes them a little less random that other encounters as they will always grant the same rewards if successfully completed and do allow a little meta gaming. The origins of the ever-present mutagen that plagues the Dark Sector are as yet unknown to the chroniclers of the Galactic Alliance. Escape the Dark Sector is played over three acts, each with a distinct story, atmosphere, and level of difficulty! It's easy to teach and quick to play, and those who enjoy a challenge will find great satisfaction in multiple attempts to win.
