About the game
If you already enjoy the mayhem and competitiveness of Here to Slay, get ready to crank up the chaos! The Berserkers & Necromancers expansion arrives to inject more adrenaline into your sessions, introducing new classes and creatures that make the fight for monsters even more insane. Forget diplomacy; this is all about raw power and dark magic.

The highlight is the introduction of new Party Leaders and Heroes that shift the game's dynamics. Want to feel the rage? The Berserker class enters the fray with The Raging Manticore, a wild feline that rewards your aggression: every time you successfully slay a monster, you get a bonus to draw two cards, keeping your hand primed for the next attack. But it's not just about brute force, as dark magic also claims its space.

On the Necromancer side, we have the terrifying 'The Gnawing Dread', a canine leader who manipulates what has already been discarded. With this leader, you can spend action points to scavenge the discard pile and retrieve that crucial card that could change the tide of the game, bringing back from the void what your opponents thought was gone forever. It's the perfect blend of hand management and the classic 'take that' mechanics that make the game so entertaining.

In terms of content, the expansion is compact yet efficient, featuring 31 standard cards along with oversized cards for the new Leaders and Monsters, maintaining the vibrant aesthetic of the base game. It's the ideal supplement for groups who have already memorized all the plays and need new variables to make matches more unpredictable and competitive. If you love building your hero combos while slamming interrupt cards in your opponent's face, this pack is essential to expand your combat arsenal.
