Watch “Light in the Dark: Fires of Thokaia - New Ways to Play Your Fave Solo Dungeon Crawler Adventure,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Meeple University on YouTube:

Light in the Dark is a solo dungeon crawler board game with clever action management, dice driven combat, and quest-based gameplay, where you’re a plague doctor collecting herbs to heal villages, and fighting monsters, before time runs out. You reveal more maps as you get deeper in your adventure, and level up your skills to fight ever increasingly difficult monsters!

About Light in the Dark: Fires of Thokaia, from BoardGameGeek:

Fires of Thokaia expands the world of Light in the Dark with a gripping new chapter. A mysterious faction known as the Cult of Ember has emerged in the region of Thokaia, preaching salvation through flame and sacrifice. Their influence is spreading rapidly - corrupting townsfolk, manipulating the desperate, and waging a silent war against the healers who stand in their way. As the plague doctor, you must navigate this new treacherous land filled with dark rituals, indoctrinated followers, and corrupted beasts. Unravel the cult's secrets through new narrative-driven quests, face off against unique enemies, and acquire powerful new abilities that test your resolve and strategy in fresh, challenging ways. With more content, deeper choices, and heightened danger, Fires of Thokaia adds a darker edge to your journey. The Cult of Ember burns from within - will you extinguish the flame or be consumed by it? -description from the publisher
