About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're into the vibe of Shadows of Brimstone and want to boost your Targa Plateau explorations, get ready! This expansion brings 15 new cards of alien artifacts that were frozen for ages, just waiting to be discovered. Think ancient, bizarre technology with a touch of horror that only Brimstone can deliver. Whether it's a Cryo Pistol that freezes the opposition, a Plasma Sword that cuts through anything, or a Gate Rifle to escape into space, there's a bit of everything. This collection practically doubles the amount of treasures you can find in this specific setting, adding extra life to your adventures. It's perfect for those who already own the base set and want more variety and surprises in their games. Remember, it's a supplement, so you need the main game to use these frozen wonders (and horrors). If you enjoy collecting unique items and want more options for your gameplay, this is a cool addition to your Shadows of Brimstone collection, maintaining the exploration and danger theme we love in this universe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game of Shadows of Brimstone to use these cards?
Yes, absolutely! This is a supplement that adds cards to the main game, so you need to own Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients (or another compatible base set) to use it.
How many artifact cards are included in this pack?
There are 15 new artifact cards, focusing on the alien and technological theme of the Targa Plateau.
Does this add new mechanics or just items?
This pack focuses on adding new items (artifacts) to the game, increasing the variety of treasures players can find. It doesn't introduce new core mechanics.
Where are these cards used in the game?
The artifact cards are primarily used when players explore the Targa Plateau Otherworld, serving as rewards for missions or discoveries.
Does this change the game's difficulty?
Not directly. It increases the variety of items that can be found, which can influence character strategy and power, but it doesn't alter combat or event rules.
Is this a large or small expansion?
It's a card pack, considered a smaller supplement. It expands a specific part of the game (Targa Plateau artifacts) without adding new boards or characters.
