About the game

What you do in a play session

Brace yourselves, adventurers! The Sand Kraken XXL Enemy Pack unleashes a colossal and terrifying creature to spice up your Shadows of Brimstone sessions. This subterranean monstrosity emerges from the depths, its tentacles lashing out and attacking from all sides, spitting danger with every move. This pack is your ticket to epic battles against an enemy that will make you sweat. It's packed with everything you need to face this threat: a giant Sand Kraken model, its corresponding enemy record sheet to manage its stats and abilities, a full deck of Threat Cards to integrate it into your adventures, and even a brand-new mission focused on hunting down this beast. If you already enjoy the exploration, horror, and dice-rolling vibe of Shadows of Brimstone, adding the Sand Kraken will crank up the challenge and immersion. It's more than just a monster; it's an event! Perfect for those seeking a boss worthy of the name, capable of testing the resilience and luck of even the most seasoned heroes. Language dependency is moderate, so having translated cards or using a reference sheet can be a lifesaver to not miss any detail in this fight for survival. Get ready to dig deep and face the terror that crawls beneath the sand!
