About the game
Get ready for more thrills and chills in Shadowbrook! The 'A Touch of Evil: Hero Pack 1' expansion arrives to supercharge your monster-hunting adventures, introducing four fearless new heroes, each with their own highly-detailed plastic miniature. Meet Adrianna, the Foreign Traveler, who brings secrets from distant lands; Harlow Morgan, the Inventor, with his ingenious contraptions; the mysterious Lucy Hanbrook; and the legendary highwayman, The Scarlet Shadow, who operates in the shadows for good.

But this expansion isn't just about heroes! To balance the scales, a terrifying new villain emerges from the depths: the Necromancer. This master of dark arts holds total control over the undead, flooding the streets of Shadowbrook with an endless horde of ravenous zombies and an insatiable thirst for destruction. His presence promises even greater challenges for our heroes.

In addition to the new characters, the pack includes ten brand-new cards, featuring six Event cards and four Location cards, which will add more twists and strategic opportunities to your games. 'Hero Pack 1' is an essential complement for those who already love 'A Touch of Evil: The Supernatural Game', expanding the gothic and supernatural universe with more depth, new strategies, and, of course, much more horror and adventure. It's time to gather your team and face the new threats lurking in the darkness!

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'A Touch of Evil: Hero Pack 1' add to the base game?
This expansion introduces four new playable heroes, each with their miniature, a new villain (the Necromancer) with his zombie army, and ten new Event and Location cards to enrich your games.
Do I need the 'A Touch of Evil' base game to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! 'Hero Pack 1' is an expansion and cannot be played on its own. You need the 'A Touch of Evil: The Supernatural Game' base game to enjoy all the content.
Who are the new heroes included?
You'll be able to play as Adrianna, the Foreign Traveler; Harlow Morgan, the Inventor; Lucy Hanbrook; and the infamous highwayman, The Scarlet Shadow. Each has unique monster-hunting abilities!
What level of complexity does this expansion add?
The expansion adds more variety and strategic options, especially with the new villain and his zombie mechanics. This might slightly increase the overall complexity, but nothing a player familiar with the base game can't handle.
Does the expansion affect the player count or game time?
Not directly. It maintains the 2-8 player range and 60-120 minute game time, but the introduction of new elements might cause some games to run a bit longer due to new interactions.
Is translation required to play?
Yes, Ludopedia indicates that the expansion has 'Extensive Language Dependency,' meaning there's a fair amount of text on cards and in rules that will need to be translated or understood in English for a complete experience.
