About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into the darker side of Itharia with the Filth Faction Deck in Summoner Wars! These demon worshippers are not for the faint of heart: they live to burn, pillage, and spread chaos. Imagine a barbaric tribe, with bizarre mutations and dark rituals, where the screams of prisoners and the gibbering of madmen echo in the dark nights. This faction brings renegade and dirty units, horrendous mutations that don't hesitate to enter battle, adding a layer of terror and unpredictability to your game. As an expansion for the base game, the Filth Faction Deck introduces new strategies and challenges, maintaining the essence of Summoner Wars that we already know and love: tactical grid combat, hand management, and the use of dice to determine the success of your actions. Each member of the Filth possesses unique powers, making each match a visceral experience. If you enjoy card games with a fantasy theme, where the fight is intense and strategy is fundamental, but you're not afraid of a touch of horror and grotesque mutations, this faction is for you. It's the right choice for those who already master Summoner Wars and want to add a more aggressive and disturbing element to their battles. Prepare to summon chaos and watch your opponents writhe in fear!
