About the game
Chronicles of Drunagor: Age of Darkness – Awakenings is the expansion that stemmed from the stretch goals of the Gamefound campaign, bringing a ton of content for fans of the base game. The box includes miniatures ranging from the fearsome Soul Harvester Boss to 32 monster figures, 4 heroes and 4 deluxe hero boards that add epic flair to battles. You’ll also find 5 high‑quality dungeon role boards, 209 cards that broaden tactical options, 24 unique maps that alter the board layout each session, 15 fold‑away doors that add surprise to exploration, and 4 standees that bring the featured characters to life. To top it off, there are over 80 game tokens, a campaign notepad, a rule book, and, of course, everything is in English, meaning Portuguese‑speaking players will need translations to fully enjoy. The expansion preserves the cooperative dungeon‑crawler spirit of the original game but adds layers of depth: new cards enable more complex combos, the maps shift exploration dynamics, and the miniatures give more visual detail that makes each combat more exciting. It doesn’t replace the base game; instead, it complements it and can be played with 1 to 5 players, with a typical playtime of 60 to 120 minutes depending on the chosen campaign. If you love team challenges, crave more variety, and don’t mind investing in translations, Awakenings is an addition that will raise the adrenaline at your table.
