About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game adventurers! If you've already plunged into the dark and perilous universe of Shadows of Brimstone, you know that every bit of gear counts. And these four promo cards are exactly that: a direct upgrade for your adventure!

Just imagine: you're out there in the middle of nowhere, fleeing bizarre creatures and dealing with the typical problems of the Wild West, but with a supernatural twist. Then, BAM! You pull out an Outlaw Pistol, which not only gives you extra morale in a shootout but is also a starting gear card for the Outlaw hero class. Or maybe you find the Bandana, which besides giving you that respected look, also serves as a starting item for the same class and appears with different art in the Dead Man's Bounty supplement. It doesn't stop there! There's Saxton's Fancy Tonic, a potion that can save you in a critical moment, and the Tomb Chest, a chest that, although appearing as a purchasable item in town in other versions, here gains special status as a Gear card. These promos were distributed with direct purchases from Flying Frog, including Kickstarter campaigns and events. They are small bonuses that add extra flavor to the experience, whether exploring a new portal or in an epic confrontation. If you dig the vibe of Shadows of Brimstone, these cards are a find to give your game a boost and make your heroes even more prepared (or at least more stylish!) to face the lurking shadows in Brimstone.
