The set introduces five fresh familiars – Faerie, Rat, Serpent, Wolf, and Baby Dragon – that enter the table as regular monsters, but with a twist: each time you encounter one, you can roll a die once per combat to activate a unique ability. Think of each familiar as a mini‑hero with powers that can swing the battle – the Faerie can tilt luck in your favor, the Rat can steal health points, the Serpent can deal extra damage, the Wolf can heal allies, and the Baby Dragon can unleash fire. This mechanic adds an extra layer of strategy: you decide when to use the roll, trying to pair the familiar’s ability with the combat situation. The expansion also ups the monster variety, keeping the game fresh and unpredictable, and works seamlessly with the dice‑rolling system that already dominates Dungeon Dice. If you enjoy building combos, testing tactics, and seeing how each familiar can turn the tide, this expansion is a sweet upgrade that will extend the game’s replayability and fun. ## FAQ ### How many players can play?
