About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more action in Summoner Wars with the "Grungor's Charge" reinforcement pack! If you already enjoy the battle between the Guild Dwarves and Cave Goblins, this expansion is a perfect addition to spice up the conflict in Itharia even further. Here, the hot-headed Grungor arrives with full force, ready to dive headfirst into the fray, bringing with him the priest Tordok, a master of using defensive runes to protect his dwarven brethren. It doesn't stop there: the fighter Halvor is ready to sacrifice himself for a fatal blow against the enemy. And of course, the toughest dwarven warriors, the Guardsmen, with their armor that can shrug off blows, also make an appearance. On the goblin side, the cunning Reeker and the brute Krag lead new troops, while the shaman Scagg unleashes his strange magic. The Beast Riders mount bizarre creatures to sweep the field, and the Goblin Climbers scale walls as if it were nothing, firing arrows from above. But the war doesn't end there: mercenaries like Malevolence, with her magic blade, and the plague-ridden Vermin join the fray for the highest bidder. This pack not only adds exciting new units for the base factions but also opens up possibilities for custom deck building, giving an extra boost to strategy and replayability. It's a chance to give your battles a fresh new look and surprise your opponent with unique combinations!
