About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to expand the Grimcoven universe with the arrival of two new, powerful Hunters! This expansion brings the Shadow Twins and the Clockwork Giant to your collection, ready to sign the Coven and face the challenges that await. If you enjoy diving into cooperative experiences with a touch of horror and fantasy, this addition is for you. The new Hunters don't come alone; they can also be summoned as Deputies in solo mode, adding a new strategic layer for those who play alone. And for the bravest among you, they might even appear as Pretenders, the bosses who will test your limits. The cooperative mechanic shines here, requiring players to work as a team, coordinate their actions, and use each Hunter's unique abilities to overcome obstacles. Deck construction and hand management come into play as you manage your resources and plan your attacks. The modular board ensures each game is different, and the RPG and scenario/mission/campaign elements pull you into the narrative. With miniatures that bring the characters to life and a dark fantasy theme, Grimcoven: Hunters Expansion promises more hours of immersion and challenge. The language dependency is moderate, so having a translated spreadsheet or cards in English might be essential to make the most of the experience. It's an expansion that adds depth and variety, ideal for fans of the base game looking for more content to explore.
