About the game

What you do in a play session

Krosmaster: Arena – Multiman brings a fresh twist to the beloved Krosmaster: Arena series. The expansion adds six new figures, each with unique flair, and changes how you build your team. You can field up to three copies of any Multiman, and the catch is that these characters grow stronger the more of them are on the board—even if they’re on the opposing side! There are two factions: Avengers and Villains, both level‑2. Avengers gain Retribution powers and spell effects that scale with their numbers, while Villains receive Revenge powers and spell effects that grow with their count. What really sets this expansion apart is the total‑count scaling mechanic, creating unexpected alliances and mass‑battling strategies. It also introduces Open Drafting, letting you pick your figures from a shared pool, adding surprise and tactical selection. Action Points and Grid Movement stay as the backbone of gameplay, preserving the tactile, strategic feel fans love. The play experience becomes more dynamic, with each turn demanding quick decisions on who to use, when, and where to position. The miniature art is vibrant and true to the anime style, and the component set includes action tokens, spell cards, and a detailed battle board. In short, if you already own Krosmaster: Arena and crave more variety, this expansion delivers new figures, scaling mechanics, and an extra layer of strategy that keeps games fresh and unpredictable.
