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! ## FAQ ### Do I need the Black Rose Wars base game to play with Familiar Cerberus? Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so the base game is essential to use the Familiar Cerberus. ### How many players can enjoy this expansion? The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is for 2 to 4 players. ### Does Familiar Cerberus add a lot of complexity to the game? It adds new tactical layers with the familiars' abilities, but it doesn't drastically alter the overall complexity of the base game. It's a well-integrated addition. ### What exactly does Familiar Cerberus add in terms of components? You'll receive Familiar Cerberus miniatures, associated magic cards, and possibly new tokens or components to represent their abilities and positions. ### Is Familiar Cerberus a full expansion or just a small pack? It's considered a familiar pack, focused on adding a specific type of unit and its mechanics, rather than a massive expansion with new factions or game modes. ### Is the expansion material in English? Yes, the Familiar Cerberus expansion, like the base game, has extensive language dependency and the original material is in English. ## Price Comparison ### Best International Offers - **BoardGamePrices.com**: $ 20.07 (https://boardgameprices.com/item/go?source=A&storeitemid=3569433&utm_source=boardgamesbot.com) - See all on BoardGamePrices: https://boardgameprices.com/item/show/39071/black-rose-wars-familiars-cerberus?utm_source=boardgamesbot.com
