About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to bring your new magical companions to the battlefield in Black Rose Wars with this expansion pack! The Familiar Cerberus adds those adorable (and dangerous!) little pets to your game. Once these little helpers have nested in your lodge, you can activate them to choose one of three special Familiar magic cards. Upon summoning, the Familiar can be strategically placed adjacent to its master, using a special half-moon base, to grant unique abilities. Alternatively, you can move these companions freely around the lodge, leveraging their own characteristics and talents to help you dominate the Black Rose. This expansion brings more tactical options and an extra touch of fantasy for those who already enjoy the Black Rose Wars universe. Remember that, as an expansion, you need the base game to play, and the material is in English, so be prepared for some reading!
