Asmodee Editions will release two editions of the pass-the-blame party game Aye, Dark Overlord! in Q4.

The fantasy party game casts one player as the role of the Dark Overlord and the other players as goblin servants. The game begins with the Dark Overlord’s latest plan falling apart, and an angry Overlord trying to find a minion to take the blame. The servants must use Hint cards in their hand to weave a story that diverts attention from them to another player. There are also Action cards which can distract the Overlord’s attention and sabotage another player’s story. The Dark Overlord is allowed to interject as they see fit, and can hand out Withering Look cards to other players until one servant receives three Withering Look cards and loses the game.

The Aye, Dark Overlord! Red Box contains the classic 2005 game. The Aye, Dark Overlord! Green Box adds new Hint, Action and Withering Looks cards, as well as introducing new mechanics: Back of the Line and No Way! Action cards. The game can be combined with the Aye, Dark Overlord! Red Box or the original Fantasy Flight Games version. 

Each box contains 121 Hint cards, 37 Action cards, 7 Withering Look cards and a rulebook. The game is for 4 – 7 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 30 – 60 minutes. MSRP is $24.95.
