## Description
Prepare for an epic adventure in Shadows of Brimstone: Forbidden Fortress! In this dungeon crawl board game, you and your friends team up to face hordes of demonic creatures that have invaded a castle in Feudal Japan. Choose from heroes like the honorable Samurai, the stealthy Ninja, the mystical Monk, or the powerful Sorceress, each with unique abilities to stop them. Explore a modular board that reveals itself with each step, featuring double-sided tiles that lead from a haunted castle to a bizarre alien world. In each mission, confront monsters inspired by Japanese folklore, such as the fearsome Oni and Tengu, or more sinister creatures like the Harionago and the Living Statue. The game is fully cooperative, requiring everyone to work together to survive. With a campaign system, your heroes evolve, gain new skills and equipment, and you can even visit a Japanese village between missions to resupply. Forbidden Fortress can be played solo or combined with other games in the Shadows of Brimstone series, further expanding your adventure possibilities. It's a fantastic entry point to the Brimstone universe, with incredible miniatures and an engaging story that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
