About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive deeper into the Dresden Files universe with the third expansion, 'Wardens Attack'! This gem expands the base game by covering books 10 and 11 of the series, 'Small Favor' and 'Turn Coat', introducing new challenges and more ways to complicate the lives of our heroes. But the main stars here are the two new player decks: Carlos Ramirez and Anastasia Luccio, both Wardens.
Anastasia Luccio arrives with a deck focused on strategic plays and decisive moves, perfect for tackling the challenges that determine victory or defeat. Her 'on the table' cards are a show in themselves, and the 'Captain of the Wardens' talent helps you target the toughest cases or enemies. Carlos Ramirez brings a more swashbuckling approach, ideal for those who enjoy facing foes and clearing obstacles. With the 'Young Hotshot Warden' ability, he can use knowledge to weaken enemies and deal damage, and his 'Got Your Back' card allows an ally to reclaim a card from their discard pile, giving a second chance for the team's best plays.
This expansion adds more complexity and new tactics to the already engaging cooperative game, ensuring each session is a new adventure against the forces of darkness. If you're a fan of the book series and enjoy a good cooperative challenge with hand management and variable powers, this expansion is a must-have!
