About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare to delve into the Forest of the Dead, a shadowy, haunted realm that exists between dimensions. This deluxe expansion for Shadows of Brimstone throws your heroes into a setting of gothic horror and exploration, where gnarled trees and a dense fog create an oppressive atmosphere. The soft ground hides bones from ages past, and the stillness is broken only by the clacking branches and the hungry sounds of creatures inhabiting this unholy land. The Forest of the Dead introduces a new set of map tiles, allowing you to explore not only this new OtherWorld but also adding never-before-seen locations to the Forbidden Fortress. Brace yourself for unique challenges with new Encounter cards, Artifacts, and global rules that alter the gameplay experience. The threat is real: new enemies like Goryus, Spectral Hordes, Nure-Onnas, and Shadow Spectres lurk in the shadows, ready to drain the life from adventurers. To complete the immersion, the expansion includes models of Decayed Trees that add a three-dimensional touch to the board. With 6 new thematic missions, this expansion promises hours of cooperative adventure, filled with dice rolling, tactical movement, and the constant struggle for survival against unspeakable horrors. It's a robust addition for those who already love the Shadows of Brimstone universe and seek more challenge and depth.
