Ever wanted to see your favourite cartoon characters mashed together and FIGHT!

Well in Covil, players take on a Dark Overlord and control adorable mercenaries vying for control over the land against other equally Dark Overlords with an adorable army.

You are the dark Overlord, and the ritual is complete. At your command, the Covil rises. A living and breathing fortress now profaned by the greed crystals. Inside its dungeons lies the gate to the dark lands where countless hordes of chaotic beings were enslaved for so long. This time you will have your revenge.

Covil: The Dark Overlords

My first impressions of Covil including a brief overview of gameplay followed by my positives and negatives and final summary as well as short overviews of what the two expansions add to the game.

The Outposts Expansion

A quick look at this mini-expansion for Covil: The Dark Overlords. It adds Outposts into the game and onto the board. How do they affect the game and is it worth getting?

Chaotic Evil Expansion

What does the Chaotic Evil expansion add to the game? Should you pick this one up? Find out here.

Covil: The Dark Overlords Update August 2018

Dudes on a map games are hardly rare. In my collection, I have Blood Rage, Rising Sun and El Grande. All dudes on a map, area control style games. The latter of those I love and have not played for a VERY long time as I write this.

So I have to look at all this before deciding if I keep a game. Will it get played?

Yes, it would, it’s very good. But it’ll be too low down the list.

It is cute. I really like the look and the adorable cartoon mashups are great. The game itself is fun too it just belongs to a genre with a lot of competition.

It’s better than Tiny Epic Kingdoms which is probably the closest direct competition that I’ve played. But it has a lot of indirect competition.
