About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for another epic adventure in Andor! "The Star Shield", the first official expansion for "Legends of Andor", throws the heroes into a new and dangerous quest right after defeating the dragon. Now, the hunt is on for the legendary Star Shield, an artifact of immense power that, in the wrong hands, could bring ruin. But the journey won't be easy: hungry wolves lurk in the shadows. The good news? If you manage to tame the alpha wolf, the entire pack will become allies in the fight against resurgent evil forces.

This expansion brings new challenges and plot twists to the story, requiring players to use their skills and work as a team to unravel mysteries and protect the realm. "The Star Shield" adds more depth to the base game, introducing mechanics and scenarios that will test the group's cooperation and strategy. It's the perfect choice for those who have already mastered the main game and want to extend the experience with more narrative and challenges. The game maintains the spirit of "Legends of Andor", focusing on story and cooperative objective resolution, but with increased complexity due to the need to manage new threats and opportunities. Prepare your dice and your minds for another saga in Andor!
