About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready for a little extra something for Mistfall? This is the 'Winter's Hold' expansion, originally from the 2017 Brettspiel Adventskalender. It's not a standalone game, mind you! It's designed to boost your Mistfall or Heart of the Mists experience with a new challenge. Essentially, you get a brand-new location tile, 'Winter's Hold,' which you can choose to visit during your quests. This extra location promises greater rewards, but naturally, the danger also increases! It's the kind of addition that spices things up without drastically altering the core experience. Perfect for those who already enjoy the system and want more content to explore. The deck building, hand management, and unique character powers remain strong, ensuring that tactical depth we all love. If you already own the base game and want to expand your options, this mini-expansion is a great find. Just be mindful of the language barrier, as it comes with a fair amount of text and might require a translation for smooth gameplay. But for those who aren't afraid of a good challenge and love collecting everything Mistfall, it's definitely worth checking out!
