What do you get with Dark Crystal Board Game?

CONTENTS

This game is modelled after the Jim Henson film that was released in 1982.

The game can accommodate up to four players.

The game consists of a board that shows the crystal palace with a ring of spaces around it, and shows six chambers within the palace.

Each character has a very well-sculpted miniature and a card the displays that character's attributes (Speed, Wit, Brawn, and Willpower).

If they fail, the rule of Evil will be established for the rest of time. So it’s going to be a race against time, as well as against the cunning schemes and dangerous servants of the Skeksis…

Play with up to three friends in this fun family board game based on the classic movie The Dark Crystal by Jim Henson.

Strategic Gameplay

Team Collaboration

Breathtaking Art & Design

Revel in stunning artwork and beautifully crafted components that bring the world of Thra to life on your tabletop.

Just as the film follows the adventures of the last two gelflings, Jen and Kira, as they quest to find the lost shard of the dark crystal and return it to the castle of the crystal, healing the crystal and restoring balance to their wounded world, so too does this game pit the gelflings against the evil skeksis, who want to prevent the crystal from being healed so that they may rule Thra forever.

In the three-player version, one player controls both gelflings, and in the two player version, one player controls both gelflings whilst the other player controls both of the skeksis characters.

Additionally, in the upper left corner, there is a space that represents the Valley of the Stones.

There are special ability cards (one per character), as well as World Cards, Mystic Cards, Skeksis Cards, and Minion Cards. Tokens with standing bases represent the Garthim, as well as SkekAyuk, SkekNa, and a group of essence-drained podlings. There is a token for the emperor's scepter, one for the crystal shard, one for Fizzgig, and one displaying an Uru that serves as the turn token. There are six dice of various types, and finally, a turn counter made to resemble Aughra's orrery.
