## Description
If you're a fan of Sword & Sorcery and looking to spice up your campaign, the Kroghan Hero Pack is the way to go! This pack introduces a new hero to your party, Kroghan, a barbarian from the frozen northern lands where strength is law and survival is the only goal. He can be played in two ways: as a Barbarian, a natural leader who inspires allies and charges into battle first, or as a Dreadlord, a ruthless warrior whose very name strikes terror into the hearts of enemies. We know players love options, and Kroghan delivers masterfully, adding a special touch to your gameplay experience. 

The pack includes two miniatures of him (a normal one and a Ghost Soul form), his Soul Gem, and new cards. Among the legendary treasures you can find are the sinister Bone Armor, the versatile Snowtroll Tooth artifact, and the destructive Bloodstone! This expansion not only adds a character with a striking appearance and backstory but also brings new strategies and challenges for those already hooked on the base game. If you enjoy fantasy, adventure, and combat with miniatures, Kroghan will be a fantastic addition to your collection and your cooperative gaming sessions. Prepare to face new enemies and explore dungeons with this new hero.

It's important to note that the game requires extensive reading in Portuguese, so a good understanding of the language is crucial to fully enjoy everything Kroghan and the game have to offer. If you don't mind the need for translation or already have the translations handy, this pack is an excellent way to reinvigorate your Sword & Sorcery adventures, bringing more depth and tactical options to your table. Cooperative interaction gets a new lease on life with Kroghan's unique abilities, regardless of your chosen class.
