## Description
Get ready to dive deeper into the horror with Sub Terra: Annihilation! This expansion isn't just another card pack; it completely changes how you play the original Sub Terra. Now, the mission is clear: find structural weaknesses in the cave, plant strategic bombs, and get out before everything goes boom. Forget just escaping, here the goal is to destroy the nightmares haunting you! 

With the new character, the Exterminator, your chances improve. He can prevent new horrors from spawning and is immune to gas effects, which is a huge relief for keeping escape routes open while the team focuses on planting the explosives. The tension is palpable, and the sense of urgency only increases. Every step into the cave is a risk, and the line between success and failure is thin. Will you manage to plant the bombs and escape in time, or will you become another victim of the subterranean horrors? Team communication and planning are crucial, but luck can also lend a hand... or leave you stranded! Prepare for an intense and adrenaline-fueled cooperative experience, where exploration and resource management mix with pure luck and the need to destroy everything before it's too late. It's a challenge for those who enjoy cooperative games with a touch of horror and plenty of excitement!
