Get ready for more action in Terrinoth with "Crusade of the Forgotten," an expansion that brings back classic heroes and monsters from the first edition of Descent, but with a brand-new look! If you enjoy the epic adventure and tactical combat vibe of Descent, this collection is right up your alley.
This expansion injects 13 completely revamped plastic miniatures – four heroes and nine monsters – that now match the artwork of the second edition. Meet Tahlia, Tetherys, Astarra, and Andira Runehand, ready to face the growing threat of the Forgotten cult. On the other side, prepare to confront sinister sorcerers, relentless golems, and terrifying medusae, all in service of the Overlord.
In addition to the updated miniatures, "Crusade of the Forgotten" adds two new quests that delve deeper into the fight against this dark cult. You and your group will dive into fresh scenarios, exploring a modular board that ensures replayability. Each hero has their unique powers, and hand management will be crucial to turn the tide. Dice will roll freely, dictating the success of your actions and combat on a grid-based board. It's a team-based game where coordination is key, and the campaign can span multiple sessions, developing the story and your characters.
With a medium complexity (3/5), the expansion maintains the adventure and fantasy experience that made Descent famous, ideal for those who already master the basic rules and want more content for their campaigns. It's an excellent choice for fans of tabletop RPGs and miniature games seeking a challenging and immersive cooperative experience.
