## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to dive into another dark adventure with Mini Rogue: The Council? This gem is an expansion that can be played either with the base game or on its own, which is fantastic for newcomers or Mini Rogue veterans. If you don't own the original game, you can tackle The Council solo or as a duo, with a competitive module pitting you against a tyrannical regent. For those who already have the base game, you can enjoy a souped-up solo experience with more cards, a cooperative mode for up to three adventurers, or a competitive mode for up to four players, thanks to the Overlord module. The story casts you as a hero arriving in a cursed city, dominated by a manipulative council. Prepare to explore randomly generated alleyways, face increasingly terrifying dangers, manage your resources, and level up your skills to defeat the 'King's Remains'. It's an expansion that brings more variety and gameplay options, maintaining the core exploration and dice-rolling essence we love. Plus, there's a new campaign that continues the saga but can be played without having experienced the previous one. A great choice for fans of the Mini Rogue universe!
