About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to command the dark legions of the Fallen Kingdom in Summoner Wars! This expansion introduces King Ret-Talus, a decaying monarch over two thousand years old with sinister intelligence. He is a master at raising the dead and forcing them to fight in pursuit of his glory, regardless of gruesome sacrifices. If you enjoy the idea of leading hordes of undead, wielding necrotic arts, and diving into a dark fantasy world, this faction is for you! The Fallen Kingdom deck offers everything you need to bring this theme of zombies and necromancy to your tactical battles in Summoner Wars. Remember, you'll need the Starter Set to play, as this is a faction pack. Gameplay involves rolling dice to determine action success, moving your units on a grid board, and wisely managing your hand of cards. Each summoner possesses unique powers, adding an extra layer of strategy and replayability. It's an expansion that adds a peculiar and challenging flavor to the base game, ideal for those who already master the rules and seek new experiences.
