About the game
What you do in a play session
Krang arrives in the Mage Knight universe, adding a splash of chaos and fun to any campaign. This expansion pack turns the iconic Orc Chaos Shaman into a fully playable character, complete with a pre‑painted miniature, unique starting cards, and skill tokens that capture his dark power. By adding Krang, you not only increase the roster of playable characters but also introduce new strategies and synergies that can turn the tide in your favor.
The set fits seamlessly into Mage Knight’s core structure, preserving all the essential mechanics: card‑driven campaigns, deck building, hand management, grid movement, and modular board. That means you can keep exploring worlds, engaging in epic battles, and cooperating with friends or tackling solo challenges without losing the game’s original feel. The addition of Krang also brings visual variety, as the miniature presents a distinct design that stands out on the table.
If you’re already a Mage Knight fan and crave more character options or want to try a more aggressive, unpredictable playstyle, this expansion is a solid choice. The learning curve remains at the same difficulty level as the base game, but the presence of new cards and abilities may require tactical adjustments. In short, Krang brings fresh challenge to those who master the Mage Knight universe and are ready for more chaos.
For those looking for more content and wanting to keep the table dynamic, the Krang Character Expansion is a worthwhile investment. It expands the experience without altering the core mechanics, keeping the balance and fun that players expect.
Get ready to master the chaos, because Krang is ready to stir up trouble at every turn.
