About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a dark new chapter in Kingdom Death: Monster with the Red Witches expansion! This beauty can be integrated directly into your main campaign, but also brings an alternative campaign focused on a 3-Lantern Year cycle, where you'll face the dreaded Red Witches. They don't come alone, no sir! It's a trio of relentless monsters ready to give you a headache (and maybe rip off some limbs). This expansion doesn't stop there; it weaves interactions with other events and expansions like Fade, White Speaker, White Secret, the Story Telling innovation, and even the Pariah expansion, as the witches are after a specific target. The package is packed with incredible miniatures: 3 Red Witches to sow panic, 5 Red Cloaks for that sinister touch, and 4 black and red narrative armors that are a spectacle in themselves. Additionally, you'll find Innovation cards, Fighting Arts (including secret ones!), a bunch of game cards, a new Settlement Location with its own events, and of course, a detailed rulebook and gear cards. Oh, and brace yourself for a significant challenge, as this expansion requires a good amount of reading and English comprehension to be played fully. It's content enough to make any KDM veteran sweat!
