Product Information

I suspect if you have a more-than-passing acquaintance with Dungeons & Dragons, then you’ll appreciate the character card art a little more, and the fact that particular card abilities are tied into particular classes from the famous RPG.

They kind of came to us with this idea," Miguel told Polygon. "'We want to make a Portal board game. What do you guys think?' So we have connections with the company. One of Cryptozoic's execs even has a replica Portal gun in his office. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. A DIFFERENT WAY TO PLAY D&D: Whether you’re a D&D expert or curious newcomer, the Dungeons & Dragons: The Yawning Portal board game is a fresh D&D experience that brings the whole family to the table.

There are three rows of five tiles, and each tile represents a chamber in a laboratory. At the far right end of this map, things are going to happen. Chambers are going to activate and then be destroyed. At the near end of the map, new chambers are going to come into being. The laboratory is forever moving, and forever changing. Those cards you can collect – these do lots of cool things. They can award you cake. They can incinerate test subjects. They can activate conveyor belts that move all your test subjects further in or away. They can generate Companion Cubes to distract your opponents. They can also be used to fire your portal gun. As a subject moves to the old edge, the player who owned it should now place a Glados standee on it. Any test subjects in the test chamber receive a horrible death. However, the killings take place after the player with the most test subjects receives their reward according to the tile. FOOD & POTION MINIATURES: Serve four types of mini food tokens, plus a potion token that convinces patrons to love their food. Play a potion token on a Hero card and earn a Perfect Match bonus. Yes, you do that that one. And you get this – a fantastic little board game that absolutely nails the mood and demands repeated play.

PLAY SOLO OR COMPETE AGAINST FRIENDS & FAMILY: Work the tavern alone or compete against the rest of the staff. The modular gameboard is adaptable for 1-4 players Cryptozoic's Sara Miguel was just as surprised as anyone when a pre-production copy of the long-awaited product landed on her doorstep just days before this year's Gen Con. So, she brought it along to demo at the convention. Shuffle the objective cards and deal five face up in the centre – these are communal ‘first to…’ cards for players to score that aren’t replenished. Finally, give each player a set of four coloured action tiles, placing them with the food symbol side face-up to start. There’s also a reference card for anyone who wants one, but that’s basically it. Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without notice The game ends when any one player has lost all of their test subjects. At that point, each player totals the amount of cake that they have inside the lab's rooms, and the one with the most cake wins. How do you get cake? By activating chambers, of course.Here is how you are supposed to move your test subjects: you can play them by moving them together in a test chamber adjacent to their own. As players keep making their moves, you will see the test chambers moving towards the old edge. If the test chambers move to the old edge, they could be rewarded with a cake. This is not the goal of any player. After a long day adventuring, why not take the initiative and sit yourself down for a critically important roll at one of Waterdeep’s most famous establishments – The Yawning Portal.
