About the game
Prepare to enter the dark and violent world of Conan with this exclusive expansion! The Black Dragons, the king's feared personal guard, arrive to add more action and danger to your campaigns. Led by Pallantides, these fierce warriors bring with them the fury and loyalty only the bravest possess. This Kickstarter-originating expansion adds new miniatures and elements that promise to intensify the gameplay experience, whether you're a fan of Robert E. Howard's universe or a tactical combat game enthusiast.

The Black Dragons are not just plastic figures; they represent a tactical challenge for the heroes who dare face them or a powerful tool for those who command them. With unique abilities and a striking presence on the board, they bring a new dynamic to the base game. The theme is strong, evoking the action scenes described in the original tales, where honor and brutality walk hand in hand. Language dependency is minimal, facilitating immersion even for those who don't master English, as the actions and rules are intuitive and easy to memorize. This expansion is an 'add-on' that raises the game's level, offering more strategic options and a touch of exclusivity for collectors and dedicated players. If you're looking to expand your Conan adventures with iconic characters and a worthy challenge, the Black Dragons are an indispensable addition to your arsenal.
