About the game
What you do in a play session
If you've already ventured through the lands of Hyboria in the base game of Age of Conan, get ready to dive even deeper with the Adventures in Hyboria expansion! This gem not only puts Conan himself in the spotlight, giving an extra boost to his importance in the game, but also injects a hefty dose of personality and flavor into each Kingdom. Forget the basics, because things change here: the expansion brings brand-new Kingdom cards, plus Story and Adventure decks that will give your games a special spice. Prepare for twists, epic challenges, and even greater immersion in the dark and brutal universe of Conan. It's the kind of thing that elevates the base game, adding new strategic and narrative layers that fans of the Cimmerian and wargames with a fantasy twist will adore. Just be aware: the language dependency is high, so having a good translation or fluent players is essential to enjoy everything this expansion has to offer. If you enjoy strategic movement, tense auctions, dice that decide your fate, and unique powers for each faction, this expansion is a full plate to boost your battles in Hyboria. It's time to show who rules in the Age of Conan!
