The Night Cage is a cooperative, horror-themed tile placement game that traps 1-5 lost souls within another wordly labyrinth of eternal darkness. Equipped with nothing but dim candles, you must work together to explore the maze and escape. To win, players must each collect a Key, find a Gate, and escape as a group. But escape wont be easy. The weak glow of your candle sheds light on only a small area of the maze at a time. As players move, new pathways are revealed while old ones disappear forever into the darkness, creating an ever-changing play space that requires teamwork and collective strategy to navigate.
The Night Cage is a game that delivers an immersive, high-stakes experience without the extensive time requirements common in modern tabletop fantasy games. Using simple mechanics and rich design, the game creates the type of tension, atmosphere, and strategic challenge usually associate with games of far greater complexity.
