About the game
What you do in a play session
Peacemakers: Horrors of War – Shared Nightmares is the expansion that takes the base game’s medieval adventure to a scarier level. With 10 new horror cards, players now have more monster options, each with unique effects that demand different tactics. The expansion preserves the cooperative essence of the base game, where four friends (or a solo player) unite to protect the anthropomorphic animals of Daimyria. Players move their characters on a grid board, using hand cards to attack, defend, or heal. Each horror card can alter the scene, block paths, or force players to use resources creatively. Variable player powers ensure each session is unique, as each hero’s abilities complement or clash. The book-as-board component adds a stunning visual touch: the cover can be opened to reveal clues or closed to hide secrets. Playtime ranges from 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the number of players and the difficulty of chosen horrors. If you love medieval fantasy stories, cooperative challenges, and cards that shift the game’s course, this expansion will leave you awestruck. Get ready to face fiercer monsters, craft team strategies, and dive into a world of terror and heroism.
