## Description
If you thought you'd seen it all in The Night Cage, get ready for the Endbringer to turn your survival into pure desperation! This promotional content introduces a terrifying new boss monster designed to put a ticking clock on your every move. The core mechanic here is pure pressure: once five Omens are drawn, the Endbringer takes over the draw deck. From that point on, the game accelerates aggressively, as one tile is discarded from the draw stack at the end of every player's turn. This creates a frantic race against time until the Final Flickers phase begins. For those playing within the Dirge, the intensity spikes even higher, as you can use the 5 Omens as both Boss Monsters. Keep in mind that this is a promotional item (originally released at GenCon 2021 and in Game Trade Magazine) and serves as a supplement to the base game. It's the ideal choice for experienced players looking to crank up the tension, turning the environment itself into a lethal enemy. Get ready for a survival experience where the very ground beneath your feet is constantly disappearing!
