About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to set sail with Victoria, the Captain/Pirate, a new and powerful Hero for your Sword & Sorcery campaign! This expansion introduces a character with two distinct personas, ready to shake up your adventures. Victoria can be played as a disciplined Navy Captain, who quickly rose through the ranks, or as a chaotic Pirate, a skilled fighter from a young age seeking legendary treasures. Both versions share an intriguing backstory involving an ancient curse tied to cursed gold, transforming her into a tormented soul when night falls. The pack includes everything needed to bring Victoria into play: two stunning miniatures, a hero sheet, hero cards, power cards, treasure cards, tokens, and the Soul Gem. Featuring action points, area movement, and dice rolling mechanics, Victoria offers a cooperative gameplay experience with variable player powers that fits perfectly into Sword & Sorcery's modular board. If you enjoy fantasy, adventure, and combat with miniatures, Victoria is a fantastic addition to expand your epic battles. Remember, this is a hero pack and requires the base game Sword & Sorcery: Immortal Souls to play.
