Hey there, Valerna crew! Ready for more action and dragons? Dragonbond: Lords of Vaala – Scourge of Valerna is the expansion you've been waiting for to give your base game that extra 'oomph.' It brings a ton of new features that will spice up your matches, expanding strategic possibilities and tabletop fun. If you already love the Dragonbond universe, get ready to dive even deeper!
The big highlight here is the addition of FOUR new factions, each with their unique characters and exclusive Vaala decks. We're talking about the Nahuac realm, led by the cunning Eirándi, and the Ysval realm, under the command of the mighty Oryan. And for lovers of colossal creatures, we have two new dragon broods: the Coatl brood, with the fearsome Tetzcoatl, and the Exxor brood, with the relentless Rakzor. This means more options to build your army, new strategies to explore, and, of course, more dragons to dominate the battlefield!
But that's not all! This expansion is also a game-changer for player count. It allows you to increase the number of participants to up to SIX players, transforming your sessions into epic multiplayer battles. And even if you prefer to play with 1 to 4 people, the expansion is still super useful, as it allows you to replace the base game factions. This opens up a huge range of different combinations, like playing with four dragons or four generals, creating totally new and personalized game experiences. It's the perfect chance to try new dynamics and keep the game always fresh and challenging!
