Prepare to dive into the dark depths where evil lurks! In Aeon's End: The Depths, an electrifying expansion for the already acclaimed Aeon's End, the threat is real and closer than ever. The sinister Horde-Crone has awakened the troggs, terrifying subterranean creatures, with a single objective: to reclaim the ancient and sacred city of Gravehold. This expansion doesn't mess around, bringing a new and challenging Nemesis to test your defense and survival skills. But don't despair! You won't be alone in this fight. The Depths introduces three new Breach Mages, each with unique powers and distinct playstyles, ready to join your team of defenders. Furthermore, the arsenal of spells, relics, gems, and minions has been expanded, offering new tools and strategies to combat the hordes. If you're already a fan of Aeon's End and are looking for more content to extend the life of your favorite game, this expansion is a perfect fit. It adds replayability and unprecedented challenges, maintaining the cooperative essence and tactical complexity that made the series a success. Prepare your decks, coordinate your actions, and fight for Gravehold's survival!
