About the game
If you're a Star Wars fan and enjoy Imperial Assault, get ready to ramp up the threat level on your table! The Maul Villain Pack brings the feared Sith Lord to the game, either to terrorize the rebels in campaigns as a powerful Imperial henchman, or to cause chaos in skirmish matches as a mercenary looking out for his own interests. This guy means business: with his iconic dual-bladed lightsaber, he's capable of cutting down anyone who crosses his path. Rage is his fuel, and he's always ready for a fight. This pack is an expansion, so you'll need the Imperial Assault core set to play. Also, some specific missions require the Heart of the Empire expansion, so keep that in mind! Adding Maul not only spices up the campaign but also introduces new tactical options and challenges, especially if you enjoy the darker side of the Force. It adds an extra layer of complexity and fun for those who have already mastered the basic rules and want more content to explore in this incredible universe.

Yes, absolutely! This is a villain pack that expands the base game, so you need to own the Imperial Assault Core Set to play with Maul.

Is Maul a difficult character to play?
He is powerful, especially in melee combat with his dual-bladed lightsaber. It might require a little practice to optimize his use, but the reward is high.
Is it necessary to have the game in English or do the cards come translated?
