About the game
Khexhu arrives as a high‑level promotional card for fans already immersed in the Summoner Wars universe. He is a mercenary champion who stands out with his wound‑regeneration ability: after moving, you can spend a magic point to remove a wound marker from your own character. The regeneration mechanic adds a strategic layer, forcing players to weigh when to use magic and when to position for maximum survivability. The game keeps the classic Summoner Wars structure—grid board, action cards, and dice rolls for combat outcomes—but Khexhu adds a twist of unpredictability thanks to his unique power. If you’re already familiar with the base, the learning curve is gentle; just remember the new ability and tweak your movement strategy. The expansion is compact, with only a few extra components: Khexhu’s cards, wound markers, and magic points. Playtime stays around 30 to 45 minutes, ideal for quick, intense sessions. The card was released in partnership with Plaid Hat Games and is available only for a limited time, so if you want to try this new facet of the game, act fast. In short, Khexhu offers a more tactical and reflective experience without complicating the core gameplay, making it a perfect addition for those who want to test new combat tactics and manage resources more dynamically.
