About the game
As a special treat for Krosmaster enthusiasts, Grampy: Shopkeeper is a promotional addition that brings extra flavor and strategy to your battles. Originally released as an exclusive item at PAX 2015, this character is perfect for those who already enjoy the Krosmaster universe and want to expand their gameplay options. It's not a standalone game, mind you! It's the kind of piece you add to your base collection to inject new life into your matches.

If you're already venturing into the Krosmaster arenas, you know that each character has its own special way of playing, with unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Grampy: Shopkeeper joins this trend, offering new tactics and challenges. Think of him as that friend who shows up with a crazy new idea to liven up the party. He might bring new ways to use your action points, perhaps with a touch of luck from the dice or an ability that messes with your opponents' plans. The goal is for him to fit well with the base game, whether you're playing with 2 or 4 players, maintaining the average 60-minute playtime that we know and love.

For newcomers, it's important to know that this is an expansion. That means you need to own the base game of Krosmaster: Arena to use Grampy. It doesn't come with a board or complete rules, but rather the miniature and the cards needed to integrate him into your games. It's a great addition for collectors and players looking to further customize their teams and explore new synergies. If you enjoy tactical fighting games with miniatures and a dash of luck, and you already own the main game, Grampy: Shopkeeper is an expansion worth checking out to spice up your gaming sessions.
