About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are a fan of Descent: Journeys in the Dark, you know that immersion is everything. The Bol'Goreth Lieutenant Pack arrives to level up your sessions, bringing one of the most iconic swamp villains to the table with much more presence. Forget those paper tokens that break the mood; here we have a detailed plastic miniature that commands respect at first glance. Bol'Goreth, originally seen in the Trollfens expansion, can now be summoned as a standalone lieutenant, giving the Overlord a powerful tool to spread plague and despair without relying on specific campaigns.

Beyond the aesthetic upgrade, the pack brings the 'Raging Infection' plot deck. This isn't just a cosmetic detail: the deck introduces new strategies and gameplay mechanics that use brand-new threat tokens. The Overlord gains new ways to complicate the heroes' lives, forcing the party to adapt their tactics quickly during encounters. It is the kind of expansion that pleases both those who love collecting miniatures and those looking to optimize the gameplay for the villain's side. If you want to see Bol'Goreth causing chaos with new abilities and a look worthy of a boss fight, this pack is the right choice for your collection.
