## Description
The Phantom Dragon shakes things up in Stronghold: Undead! This expansion adds a new win condition for Invaders: breaching the stronghold's gates with this legendary creature's overwhelming power. As a necromancer, you'll summon this ancient beast that grows stronger with every mana point invested and every panic on the walls. Defenders will sweat when this threat starts pounding on their doors - literally! But beware: the dragon isn't invincible, and the cat-and-mouse game remains as tense as ever. This redesigned version of first edition gate rules brings new tactical options for both sides of the conflict. Get ready to watch the stronghold shake when the real nightmare begins! (Fun fact: one component came inside the base game's KS edition box because it was too big for the expansion's small box!)
