About the game

What you do in a play session

Sand Goblins adds a new layer of operation to the Summoner Wars universe, focusing on chaotic vehicles and upgrades that create havoc on the battlefield. Krusk, the fearless driver, lets you transport goblin armies across the arena, detonating them to maximize destruction. The expansion requires card and spreadsheet translations but offers content for experienced players seeking new strategies. At its core is the deck construction mechanic, where you carefully select unit, vehicle, and ability cards to build a deck that adapts to your playstyle. Each grid movement is governed by rules that demand attention to positioning, as vehicle mobility can be both an advantage and a trap, depending on how you use it. Chaos is not just visual; it is strategic, as the ability to control and explode vehicles creates opportunities for impact that can swing the game in a few turns. If you already know the base game, the Sand Goblins expansion offers new unit cards, new interactions between vehicles, and a set of rules that add depth to the experience. In short, the expansion is an invitation for those who want to try something different within the same universe, promising fast, chaotic, and surprising battles.
