Description

The kingdom is at peace, protected by the Forces of Good, but they have grown lax and weak. The Forces of Evil gather to overthrow them. But who shall rule in Good’s place? As a Force of Evil yourself, it is up to you to emerge from the conflict supreme.

Forces of Evil is a dungeon-building strategy game for 2-6 players. You and your friends are working to defeat The Forces of Good. You need to build a dungeon, hoard treasure, and recruit minions (as well as keep them happy). However, The Forces of Good will rally against you and attack! You must successfully defeat these ambitious adventurers or they will ruin your plans! At the same time, you must find ways to undermine the other Forces of Evil to insure your own victory. When the last hero falls, the most powerful Force of Evil will rule the land!

Players use actions from cards placed on the gameboard to persue their strategy for winning. Players draw new cards to advance their position or hinder others'. Tokens are used to represent units in players' dungeons as well as heroes fighting against them. The combat element of the game is resolved using dice.

The game ends when either the last Castle Garrison falls or the last Card of Light is drawn, triggering Armageddon. Players are awarded bonus influence points for achieving certain strategic goals. Then each player tallies his power, wealth, and prestige as measured in influence, treasure, and defeated heroes. Whoever has the highest total claims rulership over the kingdom and wins the game!
