About the game
What you do in a play session
The game is fully cooperative, so unity is strength against the lurking threats in the depths. With a card-driven exploration system and plenty of dice rolling, each game is a new experience. You never know what you'll find: new enemies to face, treasures to loot, or portals that lead you to even stranger realities, like the swamplands of Jargono, home to sentient reptiles and furious dinosaurs.
What makes Shadows of Brimstone special is its campaign system. Between adventures, you return to frontier towns to spend your hard-earned loot, upgrade your heroes, and develop their unique skills through class-specific talent trees. This allows you to customize your hero to perfectly fit your playstyle. With incredible miniatures and a theme that blends Western with Lovecraftian Horror, this game is an immersive and challenging experience for those seeking an epic adventure full of twists and turns. And if you want to expand the party, combine it with the City of the Ancients expansion for up to 6 players!
