About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive deep into the turbulent waters of Abyss with the Leviathan expansion! If you enjoy the base game and crave more excitement and challenges, this one's for you. The threat of fearsome Leviathans is knocking on the kingdom's door, and everyone will have to band together – or not – to contain these sea monsters. Forget the old threat track; now the action is on the border, where these monster cards will appear to test your courage. Exploring the depths has become more dangerous. If you encounter a monster, you'll have the chance to fight a Leviathan on the border. New Lords and Allies arrive to lend a hand, with powers that can turn the tide. But beware, because whoever performs best and defeats the most monsters gets a special statue and 5 extra points at the end. However, if you only flee and don't face the fight, you might get injured. This expansion brings the 'push your luck' element to a new level, mixing hand management and open drafting with the tension of deciding whether it's worth risking it all. It's an addition that maintains the essence of Abyss but with an extra spice of danger and reward, ideal for those who have already mastered the base game and are looking for more strategy and twists. Perfect for those who enjoy a game with a strong theme and mechanics that make you think.
