About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to expand your King of 12 experience with the addition of two super interesting new characters: The Faun and The Collector! This expansion brings more strategic options and twists to your games, maintaining the essence of bluffing and card-driven conflict resolution that you already love in the base game.
With The Faun, the dice negation dynamic gets a special twist. If your dice are negated, you have the chance to rotate them to the highest possible value, which can completely change the course of the round in your favor. The Collector, on the other hand, introduces a clever turn order mechanic: if your dice are negated, you take the first position in the round, and the original first player moves to second place. It's a way to turn the game around even when things don't look good!
It's important to note that the recommendation is to play with only one of the new characters at a time, so you can explore their unique abilities without overloading the table with too many variables. This ensures that each game with the expansion is focused and strategic, allowing you to truly feel the impact of each one. If you're already a fan of King of 12 and are looking for more depth and new tactics, The Faun and The Collector are additions you won't want to miss!
