## Description
Get ready for more street brawling action with Street Masters: Tide of the Dragon! This standalone expansion throws you right into the heart of Hong Kong, where the Dragon Gate organization sows chaos and two rival triads exploit the confusion for their nefarious plans. The mission is clear: a group of heroes must restore order against this madness threatening the city.

True to the Street Masters style, the game shines with its modular system, ensuring quick setups and agile card-driven gameplay. The big twist here is that you can mix and match fighter, enemy, and scenario decks from other boxes in the series, creating unique experiences with each playthrough. And the new features don't stop there! Terrain cards add an extra layer of strategy, with elements like ladders to escape enemies or fire hydrants that become watery weapons of attack.

Featuring 52 highly detailed miniatures, including 4 new fighters with their own unique stories, 2 new villain factions, a brand-new map, and everything else you need to start playing right out of the box, Tide of the Dragon offers both a complete adventure and fresh content for veteran fans of the series. If you enjoy the vibe of classic arcade beat-'em-ups and Hong Kong action movies, with plenty of close-quarters combat and quick tactical decisions, this expansion is for you!
