## Description
If you love expanding the battlefield and facing epic clashes in BattleLore, Epic BattleLore is for you! This expansion supercharges the base game, allowing groups of veteran players to combine multiple boards to create a gigantic battlefield. Think battles on a much grander scale, with more units, more strategy, and, of course, more fun.

The package includes an extra map board, turn markers for up to 4 players (those cool little shields!), alliance tokens, and lore tokens to add that extra spice to your campaigns. And it doesn't stop there: there's a rulebook with 7 epic scenarios, including the Lonrono and Road to Najera adventures. For those who already have Call to Arms, there are tips on how to integrate everything and make the chaos even more organized. Oh, and there's also the Reluctant Allies variant for 4 players, to test cooperation (or the lack thereof!).

With Epic BattleLore, the idea is to take the tactical wargame experience to a grand level. The combination of cards to command your troops, dice rolling to resolve combat, and careful management of your hand of cards remain the heart of the game. The novelty is the scale, which demands even more refined planning and can lead to memorable matches. If you think the original BattleLore is good but wanted something *more*, this expansion delivers exactly that: more map, more scenarios, and more challenge for the strategists out there.
