## Description
Prepare to delve into the dark and misty lands of Bilehall with this expansion for Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition). Mists of Bilehall plunges you into a one-act campaign where you and your friends will face the horrors of a cursed realm. The big twist here is that instead of introducing new heroes to the party, this expansion focuses on empowering the Overlord, the game's villain. They gain a reinforced army with twelve new, menacing miniatures – including reanimates, broodwalkers, and bone horrors – ready to make life difficult for the adventurers. The environment also becomes more treacherous, with new terrain elements like crumbling walls that can surprise unprepared heroes. To complete the atmosphere of despair, 'tainted' cards are introduced, adding extra challenges and influencing heroes in sinister ways. Even the most experienced players will feel the pressure to survive in this hostile environment filled with half-truths. If you enjoy the core gameplay of Descent and want to amp up the challenge, especially for the Overlord player, this expansion offers a welcome extra threat. Battles become more intense, and the horror atmosphere is amplified, ensuring the journey through the Mistlands is memorable and, of course, quite difficult!
