The expansion pack really gives you a challenge. It adds more game play to it. You have characters too to pick. It is a must get.

Not as good as the other dark matter expansion for desolate. Add some variability, some new items and the idea of characters. The afflictions don't really add a lot to the game in my opinion. I think ...

Must have addition. The character cards add to the theme and the Affliction cards are a good twist that add to the difficulty while forcing you to adjust your decision making.

Of the two Dark Matters Expansion packs, this is the one you'll love to hate, and I mean that as a compliment to the challenge it provides. Those Afflictions are nasty, and they sure seem to crop up ...

I played Desolate and thought it was good but the Dark Matters expansion packs put this game over the top. If you are buying Desolate you need the expansion pack 1 and 2.
