About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive headfirst into another epic adventure with Return to Dark Tower: Covenant! This expansion supercharges the base game with a ton of new content that will keep everyone hooked. Check it out: there are four brand-new heroes for you to choose from, each with their own unique tricks and powers. Just imagine: the Reverent Astromancer, the Roguish Trickster, the Indomitable Guardian, and the Fearless Aegis joining your team! Plus, there are new miniatures, exclusive hero boards, a bunch of virtue tokens, and spells to boost your heroes. And it doesn't stop there! The expansion brings 8 powerful Monuments and cards to give you that extra edge, along with offerings and foundation tokens to make everything more strategic. For those who enjoy an extra challenge, Covenant adds 14 Doom Skulls (which stick to the building and won't budge!), 6 ward tokens, and 32 Wasteland tokens that will complicate your journey across the map. Oh, and the treasures? There are 20 new ones, including Wands, which use charge tokens to unleash awesome effects. And for those who like to crank up the difficulty, there are 12 new and tougher Corruptions. All of this is designed to give you more content and replayability in your fight against the Dark Tower. It's for those who already love the base game and want more and more challenges!
