Trilogy of Lost Hope is a series of black metalesque print-and-play board games published by Hopeless Games. They revolve around the same dark themes and unforgiving mechanics approached from radically different angles. And they all involve the burning of lost souls in a black candle.

Physical copies are available from Exalted Funeral.

Tower of Silence: The End of Prophecy

Beneath the waves the bodies float. Silently drifting towards the shore. Drawn by a prophecy that soon they shall become. A crumbling tower rises before them. Strange lights burning within. One final effort and then no more. One final no more.

Join the shipwrecked souls as they climb the walls of the crumbling tower. Will you abandon hope in the shadows of death or burn in the fires of prophecy?

Iron Mountain: The Shadows Within

Deep within the mountain a heart of iron beats. Slowly pumping molten ore through its iron veins. Shadows pray with frozen hands before the glowing stream. The iron god awoken. The iron law unbound.

Join the forgotten shadows as they flicker through the caves of the mountain. Will you remain forever trapped in the dark or perish in the light above?

Pesta: Omens of Emptiness

No one knows when or whence it came. Or what the first symptoms were. Some say that it is an ancient curse laid upon the land. That it goes back to the earliest settlements. That you can still hear it in the screams of every newborn babe.

Join the wretched villagers as they fight the darkness within themselves. Will you succumb to the curse of life or carry it forward into the world?
