About the game
What you do in a play session
The Kyndrithul Lieutenant Pack adds a new layer of malice to your Descent campaigns. This vampire sorcerer isn’t just another pretty villain—he comes with a Plot deck that leaves heroes bleeding (literally) and a fatigue system that’ll exhaust the entire party. Picture this: every time a hero falls, you can mark one of their skills, making it cost more to use. And if that’s not enough, Kyndrithul himself can join the fray, draining heroes’ health and turning the tide with abilities that sow discord. It’s the perfect expansion for those who like their adventurers to suffer.
