About the game
What you do in a play session
It's time to power up your Krosmaster: Arena battles with Season 3! This expansion brings a brand new batch of collectible characters, perfect for existing fans or those looking to start off right. The hook here is surprise: the figures come in blind boxes, meaning every opening is an thrill! You might get lucky and pull one of the 8 rare figures, or one of the 8 common ones. To spice things up even more, some of these beauties come with a special touch: 'chase' variants with gold-painted bases and foil cards, to show everyone who rules the arena.
With 16 new fighters to collect, each with their unique powers and special abilities, your strategies will need to be sharp. The Action Points mechanic forces you to think carefully about every move, while Dice Rolling adds that dose of unpredictability we love (or hate, depending on the outcome!). Grid Movement demands tactical positioning, and Open Drafting gives you the chance to assemble your dream team, but beware, your opponents are also eyeing the best pieces.
If you enjoy games with miniatures, tactical combat, and a touch of luck, Krosmaster: Arena Season 3 is a treat. It's ideal for those who like collecting and building custom teams, making each match a unique experience. Get ready for many twists and epic battles!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Krosmaster: Arena to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This season adds new characters and tactical options, but you need the board and basic rules of Krosmaster: Arena to play.
How many players can participate?
Just like the base game, this expansion is for 2 to 4 players, ensuring fierce battles in any configuration.
Does the playtime change much with these new characters?
Game time generally stays between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on your familiarity with the new fighters and the match's strategy.
Am I guaranteed to get all the characters if I buy a sealed case?
No. The figures come in blind boxes, meaning the distribution is random. A sealed case (usually with 12 or 16 figures) has a chance to contain all the common and some rare ones, but the 'chase' variants are even harder to find.
Do the character cards need translation?
Yes, the cards that come with the miniatures have text and may require translation for those not comfortable with English.
Is this expansion more for collectors or for players?
It's for both! The thrill of opening boxes and collecting is a big draw, but the new characters also bring new strategies and powers that greatly enrich the gameplay.
