Four Against Darkness is a solitaire dungeon-delving game.

No miniatures are needed. All you need is the book, a pencil, two six sided dice, and grid paper.

You choose four character types from the classic classes (warrior, wizard, rogue, halfling, dwarf, barbarian, cleric, elf), equip them, and start adventuring in dungeons created by dice rolls and by your choices. When you enter a room, you generate its content on a series of random tables. You will meet monsters, fight them, hopefully defeat them (or decide that discretion is the better part of valor!), you'll manage your resources (healing, spells, life points, equipment), grab treasure, dodge traps, find clues, and even accept quests from the monsters you meet. Your characters can level up and become better at what they do, but it will not be easy.

What the game is not:

It is NOT a miniature game. You may use miniatures to remember your characters' marching order if you wish, but that's it.

It is NOT a roleplaying game. You may run it as a simple cooperative, GM-less game if you want.

It is not a game-book or a choose-your-own-adventure book. There is no prose to read or numbered sections to go to, even if we do something like that in some of the supplements.

The PDF is 90 pages with plenty of black and white illustrations, plus a color cover and a flowchart. 

There are over 30 books in the series, with new titles being published every month, pushing the game into many different directions, NOT JUST DUNGEONCRAWLING. A new edition will come at some point in 2021 BUT BUY WITH CONFIDENCE NOW - as Ganesha Games will update all PDFs for free on all stores (if the store doesn't let you update for free, just drop us a mail).
