## FAQ
### Do I need the base game Hellboy: The Board Game to play this expansion?
Absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need the base game to use all the new content it provides.

### How many players can enjoy this expansion?
The expansion maintains the base game's player count, so you can play with 1 to 4 players, all cooperating against the threats.

### Is the game in English?
The expansion itself has extensive language dependency, with lots of text on cards and components. If you buy the physical version, you might need translations, or the edition might already be in your language, depending on the release.

### What are the main new components included in this expansion?
The expansion adds new hero and villain miniatures (like Henry Hood and Koschei the Deathless), along with new card decks (Encounter, Requisition, etc.) and game board tiles.

### Does it significantly increase the game's complexity?
It introduces new mechanics and challenges that expand the base game, but maintains the cooperative and adventure essence. Complexity increases slightly, but organically for those who have already mastered the main game.

### Is this a good choice for someone new to Hellboy?
If you're just starting, I recommend playing the base game first to get the hang of it. This expansion is more suited for those who are already familiar and want more content and challenges.
