About the game
What you do in a play session
Good thing we have friends for these moments! This expansion for The Dresden Files Cooperative Card Game brings more fuel to the fire with two new playable characters: Sir Waldo and River Shoulders. Also get ready to face the challenges of the 'Peace Talks' and 'Battle Ground' book decks.
But it doesn't stop there! This new addition introduces two unprecedented card types: 'Key' and 'Crisis' cards. Key cards act as obstacles on the board, but become advantages when you manage to remove them. Crisis cards, on the other hand, accumulate points as if they were Foes on the board, but transform into Cases when eliminated. In other words, more strategy and twists for your table!
With this expansion, the cooperative experience of The Dresden Files gains new layers of complexity and fun, while remaining faithful to the literary universe. It's a chance to relive the adventures of Harry and company in a different way, testing your hand management and action point skills against new dangers. Perfect for those who already enjoy the base game and want more challenges for the group.
