About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready, survivors! The Gryphon expansion for Kingdom Death: Monster has arrived to shake things up (literally!). If you enjoy the idea of facing one of the most formidable monsters ever created for the game – a Gryphon with a massive 135mm base that makes it look like a titan – then this beauty is for you. This expansion doesn't just bring the giant boogeyman; it opens the doors to an entirely new campaign called 'People of the Nest.' Prepare to dive deep into a story full of twists and turns, featuring new narrative sculpts for both the monster and the characters you'll encounter along the way. Speaking of the way, the game continues with that signature survival and development feel we love in KDM. You'll have to manage resources, make tough decisions (and deal with their consequences!), and, of course, roll plenty of dice to see if luck is on your side or if disaster has knocked on your door. The expansion adds a ton of new cards, including Innovations, Fighting Arts (and even secret ones!), Disorders that will give you headaches, and a new Settlement location with its own events. All of this ensures that each playthrough is unique and challenging. Oh, and if you're a KDM fan, you already know the quality of the miniatures and the level of detail are jaw-dropping. This expansion is a feast for those who want to extend their journey even further in this dark and dangerous world, adding more substantial content to your campaigns.
