For the last sixteen years…
Fallen Dominion Studios has been creating exceptional board games. Games people will want to play over and over again, and meticulously crafted to withstand the tests of time.
We take great pride in detailing and interlinking every aspect of our games, from their pulp storytelling and eye-popping artwork, to their innovative designs, gaming system, and multi-level strategy content. We burned the midnight oil to create and produce Fallen Land: A Post-Apocalyptic Board Game and its first expansion, A Journey Into Darkness. And we will continue to do so. What sets our games apart? No matter how many times they are played, players will have a unique experience and story line, each and every time. An experience that will leave you talking about the game for days afterward.
Looking ahead in 2018, we have a lot of great things in store for all you folks out there and the broader gaming community as a whole. First, TWO expansions are underway for Fallen Land: A Post-Apocalyptic Board Game, in addition to several exciting NEW board games currently in development! Our upcoming titles will span across a multitude of different genres. They too, will feature our unique gaming system, unlimited re-playability, multi-level strategy content and have exciting interchangeable aspects, allowing players to tailor their gaming experience to best fit their play styles and interests. However, for now, we simply hope you take the opportunity experience the massive and immersive world of Fallen Land. Adventure and intrigue await!
There is literally something here for everyone and we’re confident you will enjoy playing Fallen Land and A Journey Into Darkness, as much as we have enjoyed creating it for all of you. We appreciate your patronage and support. Without everyone’s contributions, both big and small, these games wouldn’t have been possible.
Cheers!
