About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of Sword & Sorcery and want to supercharge your campaign with powerful new characters, check out this Hero Pack! It introduces Genryu and Shakiko, two monks who excel in hand-to-hand combat and wield the power of Chi to dominate the battlefield. Imagine a blend of martial arts, spiritual abilities, and devastating attacks that will boost your adventures. The cool twist is that you can play them as either White or Black Monks, and this choice significantly changes their playstyle! The White Monk is a master at using Chi to heal allies, create spiritual barriers, and protect the party, leaning more towards support than pure offense. Conversely, the Black Monk is all about destruction, using Chi to inflict heavy damage, drain enemy essence, and scorch the battlefield, though they can still offer some support to comrades. This pack is packed with value: it includes six fantastic miniatures (each in their normal, Ghost Soul, and even Nemesis forms!), along with all the cards, tokens, and rules you need to jump right in. It's an expansion that brings a completely fresh and strategic combat experience to those already immersed in the Sword & Sorcery universe, craving more challenges and unique heroes.
