Dark Force Incursion is a solo game where the player has to reclaim the defensive forts in his land from an invading Dark Force. It is played on a single sheet of paper and with the use of a six sided dice the player plots his route across the hex grid map. Obstacles will be encountered and battles lost. The aim of the game is to claim back more than half of the forts on the map. The number will vary based upon the map, but ultimately if the Dark Force defends half or more of the forts on the map you have lost. You can claim a fort tile by placing one of your armies on it. This must be achieved before the dark force amasses 25 armies. If the dark force raises 25 armies before you reclaim the forts, they have contained your rebellion and the war is lost. Every game of Dark Force Incursion tells a story of battle and conflict. This is the strength of the game. You can see your own attempt at saving your lands and the resulting narrative, a series of encounters that often have dramatic outcomes.
