About the game

Shadows of Brimstone: Blood Money Game Supplement adds 15 mine‑encounter cards that deepen the betrayal and treasure‑hunt vibe that already makes the base game so addictive. If you’ve ever felt your heart race while trying to figure out who’s backstabbing whom in the outlaw town, this add‑on will crank that tension up a notch. Each card carries a name that already gives you a hint: “Buried Loot,” “Bandit’s Lair,” “Voice of Betrayal,” and even “Cursed Gold” – all packed into a compact set that fits right into your expansion kit.
The core goal stays the same: the team must locate the hidden loot before the enemies (or their own teammates) do. The difference is that players now have to contend with fresh traps, ancient curses, and the very blight that haunts the gold. The game mechanics remain cooperative, but the introduction of cards like “Traitor’s Echo” and “From My Cold, Dead Hands” makes every choice riskier, as betrayal can come from any corner of the board.
To set up the experience, simply add the 15 cards to the existing encounter deck and follow the “Grid Movement” and “Modular Board” rules from the base game. Dice keep being the heart of the action, and the new “Role Playing” theme offers dialogue that revisits characters with lines that boost immersion. This supplement is perfect for anyone who already owns the original game and wants to crank up the tension and strategy. If you enjoy cooperative challenges with a touch of horror and a grim western setting, “Blood Money” is the ideal pick.
Playtime remains around 120 minutes, with 1 to 4 players. Complexity rises slightly, but still sits at the same difficulty level as the base game. The extra content requires no new components beyond the cards, so you can jump in right away. Pull on your hat, load your rifle, and get ready to find out whether your crew can survive the shadows of Brimstone.
