About the game
What you do in a play session
If you already enjoy the chaos and strategy of Here to Slay, get ready for more mayhem! The Sorcerers & Squires expansion arrives to upgrade your experience, bringing back the Sorcerers—previously Kickstarter exclusives—now featuring brand new artwork for everyone to enjoy. But the real stars of the show are the Squires.
Squires aren't your typical heroes; they act as essential support. The big twist is that, unlike almost everything else in the game, Squire effects don't rely on the luck of the dice. This means if you take care of these resourceful crows, they'll provide the advantage you need without the frustration of rolling a low number. It's the perfect choice for players who want more consistency amidst the fighting.
Additionally, the expansion was designed with Banner Quest owners in mind. Since Banner Quest was released first, the developers included the specific Banners for both Sorcerers and Squires in this box, along with all the necessary tokens. This ensures you can seamlessly integrate everything and expand your epic journey without leaving anyone behind. It's more content, new support strategies, and, of course, more ways to mess with your friends' plans while you build your unbeatable team. If you're looking to diversify the tactics of your base game, this addition is the way to go!
