Dark World

Waddingtons produced this Dark World board game designed by Eamon Bloomfield. It was first published by Schmidt-Spiele in German as Das Schwarze Auge and then by Waddingtons in English in 1992. There were two follow-up expansions to the game: Village of Fear and Dragon's Gate. The English-language version, strangely, makes no mention at all of The Dark Eye setting. The game sees up to 4 players explore a castle to find and defeat the 5th player who plays the evil Korak. The game was also re-skinned in 2009 as Underworld Battle and published in the USA by 4Kids Entertainment with new figures but the same board and rules.
