About the game

What you do in a play session

Krosmaster: Arena – Expansion 1: Fire & Ice brings a fiery and icy twist to your miniature battles, adding four new figures that make your army look more epic than ever. The Drop Knight, Maskun John, Jems Blond, and Flame Knight aren’t just pretty—they come with new character cards, mini‑maps, and marker sheets that give you more strategic options and variability. The expansion keeps the familiar action‑point system but introduces a ‘push your luck’ mechanic, letting you decide whether to keep investing points for more advantages or to hold back and avoid losing everything. Each character has unique powers, so the game becomes a real test of adaptation and clever resource use. If you already own the base game, you’ll love expanding your army and exploring new tactics. And, of course, the expansion works for 2‑4 players and lasts about 60 minutes, making it perfect for quick sessions or adding more fun to your miniature game repertoire. In short, Fire & Ice is an expansion that brings more variety, more characters, and more excitement to fans of strategic miniature battles, without overcomplicating the existing mechanics.
