About the game

What you do in a play session

If you were already immersed in the universe of DANTE: Inferno, get ready to take your epic journey to the next level! This expansion brings the master of poetry himself to the table: Dante Alighieri, transforming the poet into the 'Dante Poet Champion.' But don't be fooled; he's not just here to rhyme. He is an obsessive perfectionist who uses every detail to achieve extraordinary feats, and this translates directly into new strategic layers for your game.

The package is a true feast for those who love high-quality components and thematic immersion. You will receive four new champion cards, each with its own unique personality, along with a set of 20 exclusive maneuver cards that will change how you face the challenges of the underworld. To ensure your presence on the table is as impactful as the verses of the Divine Comedy, the expansion includes a champion standee and a detailed miniature, as well as a threat marker and a starting gear card to give your journey an immediate upgrade.

Featuring mechanics involving hand management, grid movement, and a dense narrative, this expansion is the perfect fuel for those seeking a richer and more challenging campaign. If your goal is to dominate the depths with technical precision and literary mastery, the Dante Poet Champion is the upgrade your collection has been missing. It is the kind of content that doesn't just add pieces but expands the narrative and tactical horizons of the base game, allowing you to explore new paths and combat/movement strategies. Prepare your rhymes and your maneuvers, because Hell has never been so poetic—and so dangerous!
