Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Is this game a standalone or an expansion?
The Not Mines is an expansion, meaning you need to own the base game Krosmaster: Arena to play with this new board and terrain.

The estimated playtime is 45 to 60 minutes, similar to the base game. The new map might even speed up some matches, depending on the tactics!
Do I need to know English to play?
Yes, unfortunately. Ludopedia points out a high language dependency, so it's good to have the base game translated or have someone fluent in English to help with rules and cards.
What exactly does this expansion add to the game?
It adds a board with a subterranean theme and a set of new terrain pieces, offering new tactical options and visuals for your Krosmaster matches.
Is this game hard to find?
