About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for the wrath from above! "Planet Apocalypse: The Dragon Pack" isn't a new game, but rather an expansion pack that brings more chaos and destruction to your Planet Apocalypse board. If you already found the fight against demons tough, now with the addition of demon figures like the Elemental, Cendiary, and Nuckelavee, plus Lords like Chthon and Stroma, things are going to get even more intense. But don't worry, new heroes like Victor and Bernice arrive to give the resistance a boost!
This expansion also supercharges your arsenal with new Trooper cards (Mounties, SAS, British Army, Constabulary, and Federales), Legion Cards, and even Gift Cards to give that extra bit of help. And what about the maps? Two new scenarios, "Dragon Back" and "Dragon Guts," promise twists and unprecedented challenges. To top it off, the new Hero, Demon, and Lord sheets keep everything organized. A brilliant move is the compatibility with Cthulhu Wars, allowing these incredible miniatures to cross over into another Petersen Games universe. Get ready for tense dice rolls, difficult decisions, and a cooperative experience that will test your friendships to the limit. It's the extra dose of apocalypse that fans of the base game were missing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Planet Apocalypse to play?
Yes, absolutely! "The Dragon Pack" is an expansion, so you need to own the base game "Planet Apocalypse" to use all the content.
How many players can enjoy this expansion?
Just like the base game, "The Dragon Pack" expansion is for 1 to 5 players. You can play solo or gather your whole crew!
Does the playtime change much with this expansion?
The base game playtime (60-90 minutes) should remain similar. The expansion adds more options and challenges, but the total duration depends more on your strategy and dice luck.
Are the miniatures compatible with other games?
Yes! One of the cool features is that the miniatures from this expansion are compatible with the game "Cthulhu Wars," also from Petersen Games. An awesome crossover!
Do I need to translate anything to play?
Yes, it's recommended to have the cards and sheets translated. The language dependency is considered moderate, so having support material in English greatly helps with immersion and gameplay.
Is it much harder than the base game?
The expansion adds new demons, lords, and challenges, so expect an increase in difficulty and tension. Prepare for a more intense apocalypse!
