Dark World - A 3D Fantasy Adventure HeroQuest Competitor from Waddingtons | Retro Board Game Review

Watch “Dark World - A 3D Fantasy Adventure HeroQuest Competitor from Waddingtons | Retro Board Game Review,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Always Board Never Boring on YouTube:

Always Board Never Boring is back with another retro board game review. This time he is looking at Dark World from Waddingtons, released in 1992, which seemed to have it all - art by Fangorn, plastic miniatures, a 3D board, working doors, and even... some pretty good rules. Could it possibly be better than HeroQuest though? In this review, ABNB will find out... Here are your time stamps: 00:00 Intro 01:23 Box art 02:41 Overview 04:39 Gameplay 06:44 Combat 10:39 Korak's turn 12:21 Traps and treasure 13:08 The final battle 14:01 The points salad 14:29 Final thoughts And if you are interested in ABNB's video about photographs on board game boxes, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/ROdIt3ufGVA And here's an interesting aside: In 2009, this game was repackaged as Underworld Battle, part of the defunct Chaotic franchise. ABNB has never seen this version of game in real life, but he would love to get his hands on a copy. #darkworld #dungeoncrawler #boardgames Become an ABNB club member by clicking the join button under the video or by using this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAQolUw4ytGVJpjIXlqSnWw/join You can make a one-time donation to the channel using the Super Thanks button under each video (it looks like a heart) or by making a donation to the channel using the following link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/AlwaysBoard You can shop using the Element Games affiliate link (UK).

About Dark World, from BoardGameGeek:

Along the lines of HeroQuest comes a much more heavily produced game called Dark World. One player is the evil lord who controls the dungeon in which the rest of the players move their characters from room to room, fighting monsters and gaining treasure. Real working treasure chests with magic weapons inside and the figures even get to put their new weapons in their character's hands.
