About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, fellow gamers! If you're already a die-hard fan of Shadows of Malice and love diving into its cooperative fantasy world, get ready for something new! This special pack brings 8 exclusive cards, created for those who've become fans on BoardGameGeek. These cards are designed to add an extra kick to your adventures.

Just imagine: you might find treasures that give you a bunch of colorful and colorless 'soulshards', or perhaps a batch of potions that will save your skin in tight spots. To spice up the creatures you encounter, there's the 'Caller of the Wild' card, letting you choose the type of monster that appears. And what if the weather turns bad? The 'Stormy Weather' card can trip you up, reducing your party's movement.

But that's not all! There are also ability cards that boost your characters or the creatures you face. Want a fighter who rocks fire attacks and has a weakness to ice? Or perhaps you prefer a master of the cold who struggles against heat? If you're into electric or acid-based combat, the 'Levikin' and 'Acrikin' cards are there to make things more interesting. These cards are a treat for the most dedicated fans, adding more options and twists to the already epic games of Shadows of Malice.
