## Description
Folklore: The Affliction – World Events is an expansion that adds 52 environmental and special event cards to further enrich the base game. If you already love the blend of RPG and board game with a dash of gothic horror, this expansion will immerse you even deeper into Folklore's dark world. The cards introduce unexpected twists, random encounters, and situations that can alter the course of your campaign. The cooperative mechanic remains strong, requiring the group to work together to survive the emerging dangers. The expansion isn't standalone—you need the base game to play—but it's worth every card if you're already a fan of the original experience. The language dependency is moderate, so if you're not fluent in English, you might need some help with translations.
