Product description
You awaken in the suffocating darkness, your mind blank and your only companion a flickering candle. In "The Night Cage," you and up to four others are trapped in an eerie underground maze, forced to work together to escape its shifting paths and relentless Wax Eaters. This fully cooperative, horror-themed game delivers an immersive tile-laying experience, where players must collect keys, find an exit gate, and escape as a group. The catch? The dim light of your candles illuminates only adjacent tiles, and paths left behind are swallowed by darkness. Every move reshapes the maze, increasing tension and demanding clever strategy. With intuitive rules that can be taught in minutes, "The Night Cage" is accessible to newcomers while offering depth and challenge for experienced gamers. Its unique mechanics and thematic design create a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat experience that’s perfect for game night. Adjustable difficulty levels and an Advanced Game mode keep the thrills alive for endless replayability. Will your candle burn long enough to light the way out, or will the darkness claim you? Key Features: 1-5 players Ages 14+ 40-60 minutes of playtime Includes advanced game challenges Package Includes: 1 Game Board 1 Set of Tiles Player Tokens Rulebook Add "The Night Cage" to your collection today and bring the thrill of cooperative horror to your next game night!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2025Great quality game that is enjoyed a lot. Great visually and good value for money.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2024I’m in love with this game! I have payed it 10 time alone and 10 more with friends, it’s really hard in the easy mode, so it’s an amazing challenge beating the game! But it’s extremely rewarding! I super recommend!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2024It a great games, would highly recommend it
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2024Lots of different ways to play you’ll get a lot of use out of it but it is really expensive
Not a bot I swear
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2025Played two games of this, on the starting difficulty. Very atmospheric, the game's art is really alien but is so unique. Everyone becomes really engaged with every other person's turn, all trying to achieve that impossible escape. The setup for this game is a bit of a pain when you count out all the tiles to put in the holder, so you may want to streamline it with you own system. I can see this game bringing a lot of repeat value, especially with the same group multiple times. Not so bad to teach, although I did have to consult the guide multiple times for strange cases.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2025Great little game only thing is that it arrived with a small damaged corner. Packing had no issues just the inside playing board seems to have been printed then squashed somehow.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Night cage
A pretty good atmospheric coop boardgame, rules are simple but not simplistic

5.0 out of 5 stars So fun!
I absolutely love the design of this game! It takes a second to read over the rules and understand because you actually work together and not against each other. But, once you learn the rules the game is super easy to play!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game
What a great game! Bought it for hubby's birthday and he was very excited to play it. There was only the two of us playing but it was really fun. Not a difficult game to learn which is a win for me cause I have a short attention span but this kept me interested.
