Why I Backed The Night Cage Shrieking Hollow

Watch “Why I Backed The Night Cage Shrieking Hollow,” a board game review for The Night Cage: Shrieking Hollow from Home Gamer Dad on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Home Gamer Dad on YouTube:

Hello Family! It's that time of year where I look at my game shelf and pull out creepy style games to go with the season. Of those games, The Night Cage is one of my favorites because of it's theme, art style, and ability to truly be a tense experience throughout the entire run of a game. I've had it for a few years now, and here we are expecting the first true expansion, Shrieking Hollow. This new addition to the game adds a side board for The Hollow, a dark place beneath the Night Cage where an evil entity lives and wants to get out. After you're done checking out my take on it all, definitely head over to the Kickstarter page to get even more details about the things that go bump in the dark, and see if this is something you'd like to add to your collection. Any who, here's why I decided to back this game. Remember, this is all just my opinion. The way I see a game and what type of entertainment it will bring me WILL be different for you, and that's okay. If you agree, tell me why. Same for if you disagree, no wrong opinions here.

About The Night Cage: Shrieking Hollow, from BoardGameGeek:

You awake in the dark with nothing but a candle and...have you done this before? The déjà vu is less troubling than the change it implies. Was the ground always this unstable around you? When the tunnels crumbled into pits, did they always scream? And why does it feel like those screams are getting closer? The Shrieking Hollow is an expansion that adds a new threat and a new space to explore within The Night Cage. Pits now connect prisoners to the Hollow, where The Other lies in wait. Over the course of play, The Other will rise up out of the Hollow and attack the prisoners, destroying any part of the maze it encounters. If the prisoners are brave, they can leap into a pit and fall to the bottom of the Hollow where the dim light of their candles will stop its advance, temporarily. However, they can't hold it back forever, and prisoners that stay too close to The Other will be attacked when it lurches toward the flickering light it despises. If you are looking to increase the dread and horror of the original game, The Shrieking Hollow is for you. -description from the designer
