Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. It's a 2 - player game published in 2018. Claustrophobia 1643 is an exciting miniatures - based survival game set in the catacombs. The box comes with miniatures for the dungeon, character dashboards, counters, markers, and dice. One player controls a small group of brave humans, and the other takes charge of a vast army of demonic creatures. It's a highly thematic and asymmetric game. Humans are stronger, but demons are more numerous. The gameplay is simple with few rules and can be completed in an hour or less. You roll dice for actions, and there are also cards and special abilities. It's all about making smart decisions, using your resources well, handling tough events, and outwitting your opponent. Combat is dice - based. The complexity is low, with a focus on creating a tense, climactic ending. There are 20 scenarios in the rulebook. Usually, humans aim to complete a task like escaping the catacombs or closing a portal, while demons try to stop them. Win conditions vary by scenario.
