Players: 1 to 5. Published in 2024. This is a Kickstarter exclusive board game by Smirk & Dagger Games. It includes the Deluxe Edition core game, Deluxe Edition expansion, double - sided base game neoprene playmat, Shrieking Hollow playmat, and all unlocked stretch goals.

The game comes with The Night Cage, The Shrieking Hollow, and all Deluxe components such as acrylic tiles, an acrylic tile holder, 5 metal prisoner figures, neoprene game and expansion boards, and all stretch goals. You wake up in the dark with just a candle. You may feel deja vu, but the real trouble is the unstable ground and the screaming pits. The Shrieking Hollow expansion adds a new threat and space to The Night Cage. A base game copy is needed. Pits connect prisoners to the Hollow where The Other waits. The Other will rise and attack, destroying parts of the maze. Brave prisoners can jump into pits to hold The Other back temporarily. If you want to boost the dread and horror of the original game, The Shrieking Hollow is perfect for you.

How to play: First, set up the game using the Deluxe components like the acrylic tiles and the neoprene game board. Place the metal prisoner figures on the board. The base game is required to play the Shrieking Hollow expansion. As you play, the prisoners will face threats from The Other that rises from the Hollow through the pits. You can choose to have the prisoners jump into the pits to hold The Other back for a short time. Things to note: Remember that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter campaign are not included unless stated. Make sure to keep all the small components like the acrylic tiles and metal figures in a safe place to avoid losing them. Maintenance advice: To keep the neoprene playmats in good condition, wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. If the acrylic tiles get dirty, you can wash them with mild soap and water and dry them thoroughly.
