The Night Cage is a fully cooperative, horror-themed board game for 1-5 players, ages 14+, where players are trapped in a dark labyrinth and must escape by collecting keys and finding a gate. Its key benefit is its immersive, ever-changing maze that creates a unique, tense cooperative experience. A primary caveat is the challenging nature of the disappearing tiles, which can make backtracking impossible and require careful planning. Key features include cooperative exploration, a dynamic tile-placement system, a horror theme with lurking monsters, and variable setup for replayability.

The Night Cage can be played by 1 to 5 players.
The recommended minimum age is 14 years old.
A typical game session lasts approximately 50 minutes.
The Night Cage is a fully cooperative game, meaning all players work together to achieve a common goal.
When a tile is no longer illuminated by any player's candle, it is removed from the game. This includes any items or player tokens on that tile, which are lost.
To win, all players must collectively collect their required keys, find the exit gate, and have all surviving players escape through the gate.
Yes, The Night Cage includes an in-box Advanced Game with new monsters and obstacles for players seeking a greater challenge and increased replayability.
No, The Night Cage does not require any batteries to play.
Encourage open communication. Discuss what resources (keys, gates) are needed and which players are closest. Consider the risk of tiles disappearing if players spread out too much.
This is a core mechanic. Players must adapt their strategy. If possible, scout for other potential key or gate locations. The game is designed to be challenging, and sometimes objectives can be lost, forcing a change in plans.
Try to stay together as much as possible. Wax Eaters often target isolated players. Use your limited light to keep them at bay and coordinate movement to avoid revealing too many tiles at once, which can attract them.
Ensure all players understand the mechanics of tile visibility and removal. If still too challenging, consider playing with fewer Wax Eaters initially or focusing on the core objective without advanced rules until comfortable.
