About the game
What you do in a play session
Chain Mail: The Haunted Chasm – Adventure Kit is the darkest expansion you’ll ever see for the classic Chain Mail – Adventures of Earthshine. Instead of just rolling dice to conquer territories, you’ll dive into a cave full of secrets where a demon called Chain Devil is trying to dominate guards and spread chaos. The goal? Discover the demon’s name, summon it back to its realm, and, of course, survive. The kit brings a modular map of the Caverna de Reina, which can be assembled in different ways, boosting replayability. Each player takes on a hero role, picking from a set of characters with unique abilities. Combat takes place on a grid, so positioning your character in the right spot can turn the tide. Plus, the role‑playing mechanic lets players make choices that shape the narrative, creating personalized stories each game. If you love adventure, exploration, and a touch of horror, this expansion will hook you. The average playtime is around 45 minutes, making it perfect for quick yet intense sessions. And if you already know the base game, the learning curve is smooth, as it only adds new rules and components while keeping the core of Chain Mail. Grab your sword, gather your allies, and face the abyss that hides the demon!
