The game is designed to encourage the players to work cooperatively to stall or defeat the plans of four Dark Minion races as a primary goal, with individual advancement a secondary objective.
The players must divide their time between building up their personal statistics, which will be needed in combat, and trying to intercept minions before their plots can succeed.
This expansion pack included numerous additional cards and new equipment and greatly expanded rules for random encounters while traveling both on the Dark America map and within the proto-dimensions.
(The advanced rules, which accelerate the minions’ movement along the Plot Track, make the game more of a contest and are highly recommended.)"
