About the game
What you do in a play session
If you already enjoy Casting Shadows and feel like the table has become too small, The Ice Storm expansion is exactly what you've been waiting for. It doesn't just open the door for up to 6 players to join the fray, but it also brings a refreshing twist to games with fewer players. The highlight here is the introduction of 'Freeze' and 'Stun' status effects. You know that opponent who keeps attacking you? Now you have the tools to block their movement or reduce the number of dice they roll, adding a delightful layer of strategy and a bit more mischief—in a good way, of course! Beyond the new characters, which bring unique abilities to your arsenal, you get new locations to explore and a series of spells and companions that spice up the combat. Versatility is a strong suit: even if you aren't playing with the maximum group size, you can mix the new hex tiles and characters with the base content, ensuring every session has a different flavor. It’s the kind of expansion that integrates so seamlessly that, after a while, you won't even remember what was base game and what came in the expansion box. If you like direct confrontation but want more control over the chaos and the chance to include more friends at the table, this investment is worth every penny. Get ready to see the board change and watch your friends struggle with the new status conditions!
