'The Dark Crystal' Board Game Is Now Available To Pre-Order

When River Horse launched their Labyrinth board game last year, copies were snatched up immediately. It took months for stock to catch up with demand. Now they're following up on that success with an equally amazing board game based on Jim Henson's 1982 classic The Dark Crystal.

Currently, the best place to pre-order the game in the U.S is on Amazon. Will Jen and Kira manage to find the Shard and heal the Dark Crystal? You and up to three of your friends can decide their fate when the game ships on September 30th. The game includes:

• 4 highly collectible figurine renditions of the main characters:
2 Gelflings – Jen and Kira (with Fizzgig!).
2 Skeksis – skekSil the Chamberlain and skekUng the Garthim-Master
• Rules booklet – 24 pages.
• 2′ × 2′ game board – lavishly illustrated with inspiring new artwork featuring all the legendary places from the movie, including Aughra's Observatory, the Valley of the Stones and the Crystal Castle.
• 25 World cards, 9 Mystic cards, 7 Skeksis cards and 15 Minion cards.
• Over 20 game tokens.
• 6 polyhedral dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20).
• 4 character sheets and 4 Special Ability cards.
• Cardboard stand-ups and bases: 4 Garthim, 1 Slave Podlings, 1 Gourmand Skeksis and 1 Slave-Master Skeksis
• 1 Orrery turn track (top and bottom, with plastic connector).

The quality of this board and the accessories seem to be on par with the Labyrinth game, which is also available along with the Goblins expansion. If you want to add The Dark Crystal board game to your cabinet, I suggest securing a copy before they sell out.
