About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to feel the wild energy of the jungle invade the battlefield in Summoner Wars! This expansion introduces Nikuya Na, the Jungle Elves' Second Summoner, ready to shake up your games. It's a complete faction deck, meaning it comes with everything you need to put her into play: the Summoner herself, a setup card, powerful Champions, Common units, Walls for your defense, and Event Cards that can turn the tide of battle. To dive into this fight, you'll need one of the base games, either the Summoner Wars Master Set or any Starter Set. The cool thing is that, even though it's a standalone faction, Nikuya Na's common cards and champions can be mixed and matched with the original Jungle Elves faction cards, opening up a huge range of new strategies and customizations for your army. If you already enjoy Summoner Wars and want to expand your tactical options with a faction that brings a different, wild touch, this is the perfect choice. Prepare your dice, manage your hand of cards wisely, and move your units across the grid to dominate the battlefield with the untamed spirit of the Jungle Elves!
