About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more chaos and traps with *Boss Monster: Implements of Destruction*! This expansion is here to add that extra spice to your dungeons, bringing back the beloved Items, last seen in *Tools of Hero-Kind*. But wait, what's the deal with Items? They attach to Heroes who invade your dungeon, but don't worry, you, the Boss, can claim them for yourself! It's an extra strategic layer to decide if it's worth letting a Hero get stronger to then steal that valuable item. Your evil plans just got more interesting!

With *Implements of Destruction*, you'll have 5 new Bosses at your disposal to command your monster army and 24 new Items to equip (or unequip, if you prefer) the Heroes. That's more variety for your games and more options to build the perfect dungeon to attract and annihilate adventurers. The expansion is fully compatible with both the original *Boss Monster* and *Boss Monster 2*, so no matter which base game you have, fun is guaranteed. And for those who enjoy epic 5-6 player games with the *Crash Landing* expansion, this little gem also includes Explorer Items, giving an extra boost to those larger confrontations. No more easy wins for the Heroes, it's time to show who rules the dungeon!

It's an expansion for the Boss Monster card game, adding new Bosses, Items, and dungeon cards to enrich the gameplay experience. It cannot be played on its own.

Which game do I need to play this expansion?

You need to own either the Boss Monster base game or Boss Monster 2 to use Implements of Destruction.

The big new feature is the Items! They attach to Heroes, but you, as the Boss, can steal them, adding a very interesting layer of strategy about when and how to deal with equipped Heroes.

How many players does this expansion support?

What is the complexity of Boss Monster with this expansion?

Boss Monster is already considered a light-medium game. The expansion adds a bit more strategic depth with the Items, but it doesn't drastically increase complexity, keeping it accessible.

Is this expansion worth it for those who already own the base game?

Absolutely! If you enjoy Boss Monster and want more variety, new Bosses, and the dynamic of Items, this expansion is a great choice to refresh your games.
