## Description
Loot & Lore is an expansion pack that supercharges Iron Helm, the beloved solo dungeon‑crawling adventure. If you already own the base game, simply shuffle the new cards into your existing deck and you’re ready to go – more characters, traps, loot, skills, potions, and plot twists await. Each card bears icons that let you strip out the expansion later if you ever crave the pure Iron Helm experience, though you’ll probably never want to. The set brings three fresh characters, three skill cards, three trap cards, three loot cards, three plot cards, two potions and the "The Lonely Troll" card with instructions, totaling 15 new cards that broaden strategic and narrative choices. Iron Helm’s core dice‑rolling and push‑your‑luck tension stays intact, but now you have even richer decisions and juicier rewards. Playtime stays in the 30‑60 minute window, ideal for a quick yet satisfying solo session. With a low complexity rating (2.5/5), both veterans and newcomers can dive in without feeling overwhelmed. In short, it’s the perfect dose of extra content for any solo dungeon fan, enhancing the game without altering what already works.
