Darrington Press, the gaming wing of the Critical Role kingdom, has now released its first board game into the world. Uk'otoa, based on Fjord's terrifying deep-sea dwelling patron, is now available for you to snap up from the Critical Role store in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.

Uk'otoa is a three to five player game that takes about fourty-five minutes to play. Hexes are placed down which represent the wreckage of a destroyed ship that is slowly being devoured by the terrifying Uk'otoa.

You will play as two factions who are jostling for position as they look to survive the terror of the deep. With the game being semi-cooperative, you'll be working together to survive although sometimes it pays to throw people under the bus so you can escape a giant monster!

Uk'otoa Gameplay // Darrington Press

The game looks great which is fantastic to see. I like that this first outing from Darrington Press has been given lashings of love. The game art is by Hannah Friederichs and I certainly tip my hat for what we're able to drink in here. I am intrigued to see how the gameplay shakes out from Jeb Havens too though.

Coming in at just under thirty pounds, I could see this being a pretty nifty pick-up. I am a big fan of Critical Role so I will probably end up adding this to my collection sooner rather than later!

Are you tempted to dive into Uk'otoa?
