About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought Kingdom Death: Monster was already massive, hold onto your hats! The Gambler's Chest is an expansion that just keeps on growing, transforming what started as a box of miniatures and rules into something HUGE – their biggest expansion to date. Get ready to hunt brand-new monsters, face survivor variants that will change how you play, and add new challenges like Monster Encounters and Scouts, which crank up the tension. Want to tinker with gear? Seed Patterns offer new ways to craft items. And the story? Well, Wanderers arrive at your settlement with tales that intertwine with your own journey. You can weave these new elements into any existing campaign or dive into the full 'People of the Dream Keeper' story campaign. It's a feast for those who love KDM's depth and complexity, but be warned: language is a significant factor, and a good translation is essential to fully enjoy everything. Expect dozens of new miniatures, hundreds of cards, and a hefty rulebook that expands the KDM universe in ways you might not have imagined. It's KDM, amplified!
