About the game

What you do in a play session

If you thought your Kingdom Death: Monster campaign was already intense, brace yourself! The Screaming God expansion arrives to extend your saga by another five Lantern Years, delaying the inevitable showdown with the Gold Smoke Knight and paving the way for even greater challenges. This beauty gives you the chance to hunt for a powerful new armor set, and if luck is on your side, perhaps you'll even face the fearsome Lantern Parasite Queen?

Featuring two giant Screaming God miniatures (those impressive 100mm ones that are quite intimidating!), four narrative armor sculpts, the Lantern Parasite Queen (50mm), plus the Illuminated Lady and Man miniatures, the visual content is jaw-dropping. You'll find over 120 game cards, a new settlement location, unique events, a detailed 16-page rulebook, and 40 gear cards to power up your survivors.

This expansion dives deep into narrative, with choices that shape the story and events that can alter the course of your campaign. Grid movement and dice rolling remain crucial, now enhanced with tech trees to develop your settlement and new strategies to explore. It's a feast for those who love RPGs, storytelling, and of course, that breathtaking combat with critical hits and failures that keep you on the edge of your seat. Prepare for a game experience that demands dedication, as language is a significant factor here – translation is almost essential to fully enjoy everything this expansion has to offer.
