About the game
What you do in a play session
But don't be fooled, it's not just an aesthetic item to make the table look pretty. The real highlight here is the Plot deck with ten exclusive cards that accompany the villain. With this deck, the Overlord gains the flexibility to bring Verminous into any campaign, not being limited to the Shadow of Nerekhall box. This opens up a range of new strategies, allowing you to spread chaos and the nefarious schemes of this giant rat in missions where he wouldn't originally have a place.
Furthermore, the pack introduces new threat and fortune tokens, which add extra layers of tactical decisions for both the Overlord and the players controlling the heroes. It is the type of expansion that, although small, changes the pace of the game and brings more life (and more headaches for the heroes) to your base game. If you like investing in components that bring visual impact and new gameplay options without needing to learn a whole book of new rules, this pack is a sure bet to keep your Descent nights fresh and challenging. Ready your heroes, because the Rat-Thing King is ready to step out of the shadows and dominate the board!
