About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are already playing Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition), you know that the physical presence of lieutenants makes a huge difference on the table. The Splig Lieutenant Pack is that upgrade that transforms the Overlord's experience, replacing the paper tokens with a detailed miniature of the 'King of all Goblins.' It is not just eye candy, though! The pack adds strategic depth with an exclusive plot deck, allowing the Overlord to use the cowardly and arrogant Splig in much more cunning and dangerous ways during quests. By integrating this figure, you bring one of Terrinoth's most iconic villains to life, making every dungeon encounter much more tense and visually epic. If you like seeing your favorite monsters come to life and want to give the heroes at your table a run for their money, this expansion does the job masterfully. The miniature is excellent for painting, in case you enjoy the hobby, and the extra card content ensures that Splig is not just a pretty face, but a real tactical piece that will force players to rethink their strategies. It is the kind of expansion that, while not changing the fundamental rules of the game, enriches the thematic flavor and immersion of every game session. If the group of heroes is getting too confident, putting Splig in their path is the perfect recipe to bring chaos and fun back to your game table. Ready your dice and see how this goblin can complicate everyone's life!
