Blackthorn Forest is the first expansion of the Dungeon Crawl fantasy boardgame. Dungeon Crawl is a very easy to learn, set up and play game.

The rulebook of Blackthorn Forest is a beautiful full color book with great artwork. There aren’t many new rules and that is good, because the game would be complicated, then. The most pages of the rulebook describe a new mechanic, the event cards. These are exciting events, that happens as you travel in the forest. Some of them are bad and some of them are good for your character.

Some of the new cards have coins. Now you are able to buy equipment from merchants, if you have enough money.

There is a new class, the half –elf ranger, who can use a sword and a dagger together in battles.

The expansion has new spell cards, monster cards, trap cards, equipment cards, treasure cards, the event cards, a character sheet, and tiles for the forest. All the cards and the tiles have very good artwork.

I think it is a great add –on to the core game. Dungeon Crawl and Blackthorn Forest is an Innovative game, simple to learn and well designed. I really like to play it. Now you start from the forest and you must find your way to the dungeon. And the Blackthorn Forest is a dangerous one. Every step hides a danger. I have tried a few times to cross the forest and I failed. Will you manage to cross it?
