## Description
Prepare to brave the Valley of the Serpent Kings! In this Shadows of Brimstone adventure set, you and your crew step into the boots of Spanish conquistadors on a perilous quest. The mission? Explore a dark, crumbling Spanish fort now overrun by demons and sinister creatures. Each hero brings their unique flair to the fight: there's El Capitan, leading with boundless ambition; the Explorer, adept at guiding expeditions through treacherous swamps; the Soldier, a front-line fighter with a heavy crossbow; and the Duelist, whose twin blades blur the line between dance and death. But beware, the threat is palpable! New enemies like the Drowned Dead, Serpentmen Archers, and the brutal Temple Guard will push your limits. And let's not forget the terrifying Croxin Beast, a colossal reptilian war machine. This expansion delves deep into the Swamps of Jargono, introducing a new map filled with fresh challenges, valuable artifacts, and game-changing world abilities. Whether you're a seasoned Shadows of Brimstone veteran or looking to dive into this universe, the Valley of the Serpent Kings offers an extra dose of adventure and horror. The set includes everything you need to get started: heroes, detailed enemy and ally miniatures, dice, cards, and all the trimmings to relive the glory (or doom) of the conquistadors. Just remember, the game requires extensive English reading, so have your dictionaries ready or a fluent friend nearby!
