Dark Age is an out-of-print collectible card game by Friedlander Publishing Group (FPG) and was released in July 1996.[1] The game shared themes with the Mad Max franchise and featured work from artists such as Gerald Brom and Tim Bradstreet.[1] FPG intended for Dark Age to be released as three compatible stand-alone games.[2] The first stand-alone set titled Feudal Lords contained 231 cards and was sold in 65-card starter decks and 10-card booster packs.[1][2] Two promo cards were also available.[1] The second stand-alone set called The Brood had 225-cards and was scheduled for an October 1996 release but never materialized.[1][2] The Brood had artists returning from Feudal Lords and the game was to focus on growth numbers used to increase a Brooder's size (a Brooder was a genetically engineered creature run amok).[3] An expansion meant to support both sets was scheduled for a 1997 release also never made it to production.[2]
