About the game

What you do in a play session

Krosmaster: Arena – Qilby Promo is a collectible miniature that comes with a set of action cards and dice, all designed for fans of quick, tactical battles. The game is a promotional expansion released alongside the pre‑order of Krosmaster: Quest, so anyone who bought the original kit got this exclusive figure. Gameplay revolves around Action Points (AP) – each player has a limited number of AP per turn to spend on moves, attacks, or special abilities. Dice add that element of unpredictability, and the “Push Your Luck” mechanic forces you to decide whether to gamble more AP for a potential bonus or play it safe. Open Draft lets players pick cards from a common pool, creating unique decks and balancing competition. Each character has variable powers, so what works in one game may not in another, keeping the game fresh. Components include the Qilby miniature, a deck of cards, combat dice, and AP tokens. Average playtime is about 60 minutes, ideal for quick sessions, and it supports 2‑4 players. If you’re a Krosmaster fan or enjoy miniature games with a card strategy twist, this promo is a must‑have – just remember it doesn’t replace the base game, it just enhances the experience.
