Hey everyone! Ready for another dose of adventure and danger? Dungeon Saga: The Warlord of Galahir arrives to supercharge your collection with a new action-packed saga. This time, the mission is clear: rescue the merchant Pietor Grube from the clutches of evil orcs, recover lost treasures, and put an end to the tyrant destroying the peace in the Galahir forest. Do you and your crew have what it takes to restore order to Penn-Scarr?
This expansion brings two brand-new heroes to join the team: Kapoka, the Gladewalker druid, and Hrrath, a fiery salamander. Oh, and there are two more hero sheets from the base game for you to mix things up. Prepare to invade the orc lair, explore dark tunnels, and face hordes of brutal creatures. The final showdown? Against Thrundak Skullsplitter, an orc known for his limitless cruelty. Get ready for a bloodbath (figurative, of course!) in this fight for survival.
Remember that in Dungeon Saga, one player takes on the role of the evil dungeon master, while the others divide the heroes among themselves. Each has their strengths and weaknesses: the barbarian is a war machine but fragile; the dwarf is sturdy and resilient; the elf is a master of ranged archery; and the wizard, despite not being a great fighter, can be the key to victory with his magic. The secret is to work as a team to keep the wizard alive and overcome the challenges. This expansion adds new challenges and components that will make your game sessions even more exciting and strategic. Just a heads-up: the game requires a fair amount of reading in English, so you might need a translation to fully enjoy the experience.
