Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) to use this pack?
Yes, absolutely! This is a Lieutenant Pack, meaning it's an expansion and requires the base game to be played.
How many players can participate with this pack?
The base game Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) is for 2 to 5 players. This pack doesn't change the player count, so the maximum remains 5.
Is Valyndra a hero or a villain?
Valyndra is a villain, specifically the Wyrm Queen, and functions as a powerful lieutenant for the Overlord (the player controlling the monsters).
Does this pack add a lot of new rules?
It adds a specific Plot Deck for Valyndra and rules for the Overlord to summon her into quests. It's not a radical rules overhaul, but it does introduce new strategic layers.
Is the Valyndra miniature difficult to assemble?
Generally, FFG's Lieutenant Pack miniatures are pre-assembled or require minimal, simple assembly. The main figure is the focus.
Do Valyndra's cards come in English?
Yes, this product is originally in English, and the Plot Deck and other Valyndra-specific rule cards do not have official translations into other languages. You may need to look for fan-made translations.
Is it worth buying just for the miniature?
If you're a collector or like using miniatures in other games, Valyndra's figure is quite detailed and impressive. However, the pack is most valuable if you play Descent and want to utilize the new abilities and strategies she brings to the Overlord.
