About the game
What you do in a play session
The Silver City expansion arrives as a game‑changing chapter for Kingdom Death: Monster, appearing around Lantern Year 12‑13 when the settlement is already well‑established. Survivors can now risk forays into the mysterious Silver City, a locale that offers a completely different gameplay experience from the traditional campaign. This new area rewrites part of the timeline, driving the narrative toward a final showdown with the fearsome Lion God. Along the way, the party faces bizarre foes – bone‑eating madmen clad in Silverlight jellyfish skin, half‑functional ancient guardians, the very Silverlight jellyfish themselves, leaping octopi that move like marine ninjas, and even the legendary Lost Knight. The mechanics stay true to the core: cooperative combat, dice rolling with critical hits and failures, square‑grid movement, and narrative choices that steer the story. New tech trees and pattern‑building options add further depth to the settlement’s development. The box brings detailed miniatures, paper sheets, and fresh events that require careful translation, as much of the text is in English. Playtime can swing widely—from an hour to three—depending on player count (1‑6) and how deeply the group explores Silver City. In short, Silver City expands Kingdom Death’s medieval horror with added variety, challenge, and an epic climax that will leave fans hungry for more.
