About the game

What you do in a play session

The Mountain Giant Reinforcement Pack brings a new colossal unit, fresh lore cards, and a unique terrain tile to BattleLore (Second Edition), changing battlefield dynamics. The Mountain Giant can be summoned to any army, delivering rock‑throwing attacks that demolish buildings and crushing blows that topple enemy units. The pack also includes three lore cards that let you customize your campaign card deck, creating even richer narratives. For those who want to jump straight in, there’s a ready‑made scenario called "The Sound of Thunder," where Uthuk Y'llan summon the giant to free prisoners from the Daqan Lords. Playing with the Mountain Giant ramps up the threat level and power of every game, making it a formidable ally in any situation. The set fits seamlessly into the base game, using the same dice‑rolling, grid‑movement, and modular‑board rules, and works in two‑player matches. If you love epic battles, detailed miniatures, and want to upgrade your army, this expansion is the perfect pick. It’s a lightweight addition that adds variety without complicating the original experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
How long does a game last with the pack?
The duration stays the same as the base game, between 90 and 90 minutes, since the pack only adds components and not time mechanics.
How many players can use the pack?
It’s designed for two‑player games, as the Mountain Giant is balanced for that format.
What’s the complexity of playing with the Mountain Giant?
The complexity remains the same as BattleLore 2nd Edition – medium. The Mountain Giant adds new options but no extra rules.
What new components do I get?
You receive a miniaturized Mountain Giant, three lore cards, a unique terrain tile, and the "The Sound of Thunder" scenario.
Do I need a translation to play?
Yes, if the base game isn’t in Portuguese, you’ll need to translate components to play comfortably.
Does the pack work with earlier BattleLore editions?
No, it only works with the Second Edition, as the rules and components are only compatible with that version.
