About the game

What you do in a play session

Brace yourself for a nightmare from afar! The Manhunter, a sadistic killer, terrorizes survivors and forces settlements to hand over lives in exchange for peace. No one knows the reason for its brutal kidnappings, but one thing is certain: those taken are never seen again. Your community will have to decide: fight this relentless enemy or pay the blood price to survive. The Manhunter offers no respite; it prefers to break its enemies before delivering the final blow. If you manage to defeat it, the rewards are incredible, with invaluable hunting tools. But if you fail, the only way out will be to submit and trade your loved ones for resources. This expansion adds this dark threat to the base game Kingdom Death: Monster, bringing more challenges and difficult choices. Prepare for an intense experience, full of horror, brutal combat, and decisions that will weigh on your conscience. It's a feast for those who enjoy games with high-quality miniatures and an adult, engaging narrative. Just don't forget: the game demands a good command of English, as the language dependency is high and a full translation is essential to immerse yourself in this macabre story.
