## Overview

The Night Cage Expansion: The Shrieking Hollow is a cooperative tile-placement board game expansion for 1-5 players aged 14+, adding new threats like collapsing pits, unstable tunnels, and a rising horror called The Other. Over 40-60 minutes, players must adapt to an evolving maze, using candlelight to delay attacks and survive the intensifying terror. Designed to seamlessly enhance the base game, it deepens strategic challenge and immersive horror for fans craving a darker, more intense experience.

## Description

You awake in the dark with nothing but a candle and...have you done this before? The déjà vu is less troubling than the change it implies. Was the ground always this unstable around you? When the tunnels crumbled into pits, did they always scream? And why does it feel like those screams are getting closer? The Shrieking Hollow is an expansion that adds a new threat and a new space to explore within The Night Cage. Pits now connect prisoners to the Hollow, where The Other lies in wait. Over the course of play, The Other will rise up out of the Hollow and attack the prisoners, destroying any part of the maze it encounters. If the prisoners are brave, they can leap into a pit and fall to the bottom of the Hollow where the dim light of their candles will stop its advance, temporarily. However, they can't hold it back forever, and prisoners that stay too close to The Other will be attacked when it lurches toward the flickering light it despises. If you are looking to increase the dread and horror of the original game, The Shrieking Hollow is for you.

Review: Solid game - Dark, Clever, and Incredibly Immersive The Night Cage is one of the most unique and atmospheric board games I’ve ever played. The concept is simple but genius: you’re trapped in a pitch-black labyrinth with only a single candle, and the board tiles vanish behind you as you move. It creates a constant sense of tension and urgency that really pulls you in. The cooperative gameplay is tight and encourages real teamwork and strategy. Every decision matters, and the randomness keeps each game fresh and unpredictable. The art and components are beautifully eerie—moody, minimalist, and perfect for the theme. It’s especially fun with 4 players, but even with 2, the game still feels challenging and engaging. If you enjoy puzzle-like games with a horror twist and a strong sense of theme, The Night Cage is absolutely worth adding to your collection.
