About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for the Cloaks to enter the fray in Summoner Wars! This faction, made up of outcasts from the Bender Empire, has mastered the art of guerrilla warfare. They strike from the shadows, delivering precise blows and melting away before the enemy can react. Gunners take out sentries from afar, while Scrappers set up ambushes for unsuspecting soldiers. And by the time the fight is over, Thieves have already done their work, leaving opponents plundered. Leading this force is Vlox, a jack-of-all-trades master who uses his Summoning Stone to carve a bloody path through the enemy empire. This faction deck includes 35 new cards, featuring Vlox as the main summoner, champions like Dagger, Violet, and Scam, and common units like Scrapper, Gunner, and Thief. You'll also find event cards like 'Assassinate,' 'Cloak of Shadows,' 'Magic Drain,' and 'Raid,' plus a 'Spy' card and 'Wall' cards for defensive tactics. It's an expansion that adds a new layer of strategy and unpredictability to the base game, perfect for those who enjoy stealth tactics and quick counter-attacks. If you're already a fan of Summoner Wars and want more faction options, the Cloaks are a fantastic addition to surprise your opponents with unexpected attacks and a whole lot of cunning.
