About the game

What you do in a play session

Shadows of Brimstone: Lost Army Hell Cannon and Crew is a mission pack that resurrects the legendary Lost Army, once part of Santa Ana’s Mexican Legions. After decades of silence, they return with a burning hatred for the living, bringing a siege arsenal that has been twisted into a terrifying Hell Cannon. This add‑on supplies the base game with a XL‑sized cannon, accompanied by two mini‑figures of undead soldiers as its crew, and all the threat cards needed to bring the enemy into play. The modular board gains a new objective room tile with two sides – an Old‑West mine theme and an Other‑World side – that fits perfectly into the set’s themed adventures. It also includes enemy registration sheets, cut‑out markers, and if you want to use all threat cards, you might need up to three units. As part of a cooperative experience, players must use dice, grid movement, and variable player powers to stop the Lost Army from spreading terror across the desert. The game supports 1 to 4 players, lasts about 120 minutes, and has a BGG weight of 5, indicating high complexity and strategic depth. If you love horror stories set in the American West, detailed miniatures, and intense cooperative challenges, this mission pack will keep your heart racing.
