The successor-not-sequel to Fantasy Flight Games’ beloved dungeon-crawler Descent: Journeys in the Dark, Legends of the Dark has nearly a decade’s worth of expectation and hype riding on its shoulders. In every sense of the word, Descent: Legends of the Dark is the biggest board game release of the summer.
