About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've already gotten hyped with the adventures of Hellboy in the base game and are clamoring for more paranormal action, get ready! The 'Conqueror Worm' expansion brings the direct threat of this iconic villain straight from the comic book pages to your table.

This little gem, long-awaited since the original Kickstarter, finally arrives in a separate box, ready to boost your gaming sessions. You'll dive into new cases, face meticulously crafted Nazi enemies (with various types!), and, of course, confront the Conqueror Worm himself, with his unique tactics and challenges.

To complete the team, two new agents arrive with exclusive miniatures: the legendary Lobster Johnson and the peculiar Roger. They bring their own cards and abilities to help you unravel mysteries and survive. The expansion also adds more encounter cards, Deck of Doom cards, and boss behavior cards, ensuring each game is a new, tense, and exciting experience.

With new scenario tiles, tokens, and even rules for scenery elements, 'Conqueror Worm' isn't just a handful of components. It's a deep dive into Hellboy's dark and action-packed universe, promising extra challenges for veteran players and new stories for newcomers. Prepare your dice and your courage, because this expansion will test your limits!
