The Shadow Over Westminister is a cooperative card game set in modern London. Players have to share information and artifacts in order to banish powerful monsters that have invaded their world. They want to add additional combos to this genre so it is worth noticing.
The Shadow Over Westminister Setting
Demonic rituals and eldritch horrors have been creeping into the streets of London. The characters play as a member of a secret organization. The choices are:
- Illuminati Shadow
- Knight Templar
- Watcher
- Outsider
Players combine their unique skills and gather artifacts to power up their own abilities and those of their partners. The world may be coming to an end and your organizations have a vested interest in stopping it.
The Shadow Over Westminister Missions
The game also promises to have a new sort of mission system that may see you try to shut the gates of hell or overcome one of the players who has betrayed the team. These are laid out on special cards as well which you can shuffle and select.
The Shadow Over Westminister Deckbuilding
Players start with limited resources and abilities. As with any other deckbuilding game you have to create a powerful character of your own. Since it’s a cooperative game you also have to work with other players to create the best decks.
The Shadow Over Westminister Story
These missions and twists lead to the creation of a complex story that the creators promise will have different twists with each scenario. These are topped off by 15 “Cataclysms” that bring a world-ending finale to the party.
The Shadow Over Westminister Kickstarter
The setup itself includes copies of the game and miniatures that may be professionally painted depending on your pledge level. It looks like a lot of effort has gone into this Kickstarter so see if you agree and want to donate. Stretch goals include celebrity work done by MTG artist RK Post. Overall it looks like a great package.
