Last month, Ravensburger announced the upcoming board game Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition). Now, Laughing Place is excited to exclusively reveal more details about the game and one character in particular: Maid Marian from Robin Hood.
What happening:
- Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition) is an immersive adventure game that allows players to experience Disney heroines in a new way as they work together to win.
- The game features familiar characters, items and creatures in a new story and illustrated world for players to explore — with one of those characters being Maid Marian from the beloved classic Robin Hood.
- Maid Marian’s components will be on display for the first time at Ravensburger’s stand (23.02 and 23.04) at the Cannes de Jeux Festival in France from February 23th through the 25th. This will also be the first opportunity for players to demo the game.
- This is the second character from the game to have her components revealed following Belle.
- Ravensburger is also sharing images of the back side of the game’s map tiles, which include excerpts from the book “Chronicles of Light,” a history book from the realm of Light:

- Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition) will be available for pre-order on July 7th at Target.com and will be available for purchase at Target and hobby stores nationwide on July 21st.
- The game is recommended for up to 4 players ages 8 and up and has an MSRP of $29.99.
What they’re saying:
- Lysa Penrose, Head of New Games Marketing at Ravensburger: "The little details are where magic happens. Chronicles of Light as a game is about the heroes, but passages in the instruction booklet, on the back of map tiles, hint at the Realm of Light, its history, and its people. This is a world that has faced the Darkness time and again, sometimes defeating it themselves, sometimes combining their strengths to summon the most powerful heroes they can imagine: in this case, Moana, Violet, Maid Marian, and Belle."
- Shanon Lyon, an International Product Manager at Ravensburger (who led game development and narrative design for Chronicles of Light): "Our team was so curious about the Realm of Light. Who are the villagers? Why and how did they summon these heroes? We imagined the 'Chronicles of Light' as an actual historical tome, records of this Realm's adventures, victories, and secrets."
