About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already defending the lands of Grimheim and feel your group needs some fresh blood (or more absurd powers), the Sindra & Finkel expansion is here to shake things up. Forget the monotony; the goal here is to inject two powerful personalities into the fray. On one side, we have Sindra, an elder who has remained active for nearly a century, proving that experience beats brute force. On the other, Finkel, a powerhouse who controls fire and wind—some even whisper that he's the son of Thor himself.
But it's not just about the lore. In terms of gameplay, this box delivers two detailed miniatures and, more importantly, two complete decks of 40 cards each. This means you get a brand-new arsenal of abilities, equipment, and events specific to each hero, shifting the dynamics of how you face the enemy hordes. If you love building combos and testing new defensive strategies, these two characters bring tactical layers that can save your group in desperate situations. It's the kind of addition that expands the base game's possibilities without overcomplicating the learning curve, keeping the weight light and the fun high. Gather your team, coordinate your abilities, and see if Sindra's wisdom or Finkel's elemental fury is exactly what you needed to secure victory in Grimheim.
