About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of Descent and looking to level up your adventures, "Treaty of Champions" is the way to go! This collection offers a feast of 14 brand-new plastic miniatures: four unique heroes – Jonas the Kind, Grey Ker Krutzbeck, and Zyla – ready to face any challenge, and three monster types to give the Overlord a wicked grin. Speaking of villains, get ready to face the fearsome Demon Lords, the deadly precision of Skeleton Archers, and the cunning of the Crow Hags, a brand-new addition that promises to give heroes a real headache. But evil isn't just about monsters, right? This expansion also adds two exclusive quests, including "Sindaea’s Secret," which throws you into a race against time to prevent an ancient demon from awakening. It's your chance to dive even deeper into the world of Terrinoth, with that campaign feel we all love. The gameplay stays true to the classic Descent style: action points to strategize the best moves, dice rolls for that touch of luck, grid movement to keep you on track, and hand management to play the right cards at the right moment. Be aware, though, there's a significant language dependency, so keep that in mind if you're playing with folks who aren't fluent in English. It's definitely a treat for those who already enjoy the base game and want more challenges and stunning miniatures!
