## Description
The Proxies, the rebel faction of Project ELITE, have unleashed a disgusting new bio‑weapon: the ravenous Deathmaw. This massive, segmented worm prowls the ruined cities, devouring anything it can grasp. To stop its rampage, the Project’s tacticians devise a daring plan. They scatter high‑radiation salvage bait in a narrow valley, luring the beast into a natural corridor. Once the creature is inside, they seal the exit with heavy artillery, turning the valley into a lethal trap of fire and explosives. Players must coordinate their miniatures, exploit unique powers, and roll dice to manage grid movement, preventing the Deathmaw from advancing and ultimately destroying it before it escapes. The game runs in real‑time, demanding swift, cooperative decisions—no one can stand still while the clock ticks. The expansion adds new miniatures, ability cards, and scenarios that boost tension and replay value. Suitable for 1‑6 players, games run about an hour but can stretch if the group dives deep into tactical nuances. If you love miniatures, frantic combat, and a cooperative showdown against an unstoppable monster, Deathmaw Valley delivers exactly that, with plenty of action and risk on every dice roll.
