About the game

What you do in a play session

Baal-pteor, the Strangler, has arrived to join your Conan collection! This sinister figure, straight from the pages of Robert E. Howard, isn't just another miniature to adorn your table. He brings with him the brutality and imposing presence of a ruthless assassin, with a description that evokes immense physical strength and a piercing gaze that spares no one. If you enjoy the darker, more visceral side of the Conan universe, get ready to add this villain to your list of challenges.

Baal-pteor doesn't come alone; he brings an exclusive scenario to test you and can also be integrated into other adventures, expanding the possibilities of the base game. As an exclusive Kickstarter 'add-on,' he is a special item for collectors and die-hard fans. The 'Player Elimination' mechanic might be a point of attention, so be prepared for the possibility of being removed from the game early if you're not careful. But don't worry too much, as the in-game text is minimal and easy to memorize, ensuring the action flows without unnecessary interruptions. If you're looking for an experience that blends adventure, fantasy, and direct combat, with the quality miniatures Monolith delivers, Baal-pteor is a worthwhile addition, especially if you're already a fan of the Conan series.
