About the game
What you do in a play session
Heroes of Land, Air & Sea: Nomads Mini-Expansion brings a set of nomadic troll miniatures and cards that expand the already epic miniature combat of the base game. With 10 new nomad figures, a mercenary card, and six spell cards, you gain more tactical options and unit variety to dominate the battlefield. The expansion was initially released as a Kickstarter exclusive, but Gamelyn Games has confirmed it can be purchased directly on their website or at conventions, making it easier for those who didn’t back the campaign. The components are high quality, with detailed miniatures that fit perfectly into Heroes of Land, Air & Sea’s medieval art style. Additionally, the cards introduce betting and bluffing mechanics, allowing players to deceive opponents about their combat intentions. The expansion keeps the same action points and worker placement structure as the base game, ensuring the learning curve stays smooth. Game time increases by about 30 to 60 minutes depending on player count, but the experience becomes richer and more strategic. If you already own the base game and enjoy exploring new combat variations, this mini‑expansion is a solid addition that adds more excitement and depth to your miniature battles.
