Arena: The Contest – Dragons of Tanares is the ultimate expansion for the base game, released in 2020 and designed for 1 to 8 players. With 300 pages of lore, original art, and a complete campaign setting, the book transforms the Tanares universe into an epic stage where dragons, miniatures, and strategy collide. Each dragon controls drastic changes in the region, and the DM can choose whether each starts alive or dead, yielding 64 possible scenario combinations. The modular board, made of tiles that can be rearranged, creates dynamic and unpredictable environments, while the action queue and grid movement ensure tactical flow. Player elimination adds tension, as failure can remove a player from the game, and variable player powers allow unique strategies that evolve over time. Components include detailed miniatures, multi-sided dice, action tokens, terrain tiles, and a set of event cards that enrich the narrative. The game blends RPG elements with board‑game mechanics, offering a rich storytelling and competitive experience. Complexity is moderate, ideal for groups seeking a strategic challenge without sacrificing fun. If you love dragon battles, modular boards, and stories that unfold uniquely, Arena: The Contest – Dragons of Tanares is the expansion you’ve been missing.
