About the game

What you do in a play session

Fallen: Ruined Stronghold Adventure Pack is the exclusive Kickstarter expansion that elevates the Fallen experience to a whole new level. It introduces three epic creatures – Orc Scout, Orc Shaman, and Orc Charger – each with abilities that shift the power balance at the table. Additionally, two powerful items, Rune Armor and Rune Stone, provide strategic bonuses and combo options. The heart of the expansion lies in 12 story cards, delivering engaging narratives, random events, and twists that keep the game unpredictable. The game retains the base's dice‑rolling system but adds more tactical options thanks to a more complex hand‑management mechanic. The medieval fantasy atmosphere is reinforced by detailed artwork and themes of combat, exploration, and survival. The pack works seamlessly with the base game, adding layers of strategy and depth without altering the core mechanics. If you love card games with dice rolls and enjoy weaving stories, this pack offers a rich and challenging experience. It’s ideal for two‑player duos seeking a shorter, focused game that still delivers high replayability thanks to story cards that change the course of each session.
