About the game
Blood Rage: 5th Player Extras – Kickstarter Exclusives is the premium edition of the expansion you received when backing the Kickstarter project. Instead of just a set of cards, the box includes miniatures with alternative sculpting and “5+” cards that add more monster options. Each miniature – the Dwarf Chieftain, the Dark Elf, and the Soldier of Hel – comes with a corresponding “5+” card for its age (1, 2, or 3). Additionally, there are four Ram Clan throne tokens, each also receiving a “5+” card. These cards are identical to those already in the base box, so you can freely mix them into the existing deck. Adding the extra cards is optional and only useful if you want to broaden the monster selection available to players. The expansion works with 2 to 5 players, lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, and keeps the 2.8/5 BGG weight. The miniatures are high‑quality and detailed, matching the Viking aesthetic of the game. If you already own the base game, the expansion offers more monster variety and pieces to customize your battles, while keeping the open‑draft mechanic that adds a layer of unpredictability to each game.
