About the game

What you do in a play session

Shadowrift: Boomtown is an exciting expansion that introduces new challenges and characters to the cooperative world of Shadowrift. Two new monster factions join the fray: the Goblins, with their evil magic and excessive explosives, and the Colossi, gigantic creatures armed to the teeth. To counter these threats, two new heroes step into the fight: the Fencer, agile and precise, and the Chronomancer, who manipulates time to their advantage. Get ready for deeper strategies and intense battles as you defend the town from invading hordes. Deck building and hand management are key to surviving in this dark fantasy world.
