This legendary armor, crafted from the remains of the toughest monsters, is the ultimate goal that will have you breaking a sweat to obtain. Just imagine equipping a Bone Eater in it and watching the chaos unfold – it's enough to drive anyone mad!

But hey, it won't be a walk in the park. To forge this beauty, you'll have to sacrifice a good chunk of your settlement's bones. It's a hefty investment, but the reward... oh, the reward is worth every monster bit! The expansion includes two incredible Death Armor miniatures, a unique settlement location for that special touch, a 6-page rulebook, and 25 gear cards to power up your survivors.

Remember that Kingdom Death: Monster is already a demanding game, and this expansion adds more complexity and challenges. The experience is immersive, with a strong narrative and decisions that impact the course of your story. If you enjoy cooperative games with RPG elements, dice rolling, and a touch of mature horror, the Death Armor is for you. Prepare to face the Gold Smoke Knight in style and prove your settlement is the most feared of all! Just don't forget you need the base game to enjoy this marvel. Oh, and a heads-up: the rulebook is in English, so be prepared to translate or have a Portuguese version handy!
