About the game
If you're already a fan of The Reckoners universe, get your heart (and your dice) ready, because Steelslayer is here to crank up the chaos! In this expansion, we follow David Charleston—now known by the codename 'Steelslayer'—on a desperate mission to restore human governance in Newcago and liberate the oppressed peoples of the Fractured States. But don't think it'll be easy: the Epics are more dangerous than ever and won't go down without a fight.

The real magic of this expansion lies in its incredible versatility. It doesn't just arrive as a set of rules, but as a collection of four modular components. This means you have total control over how you want to expand your gaming experience. You can throw everything on the table for an epic challenge or pick and choose exactly what interests you. What's in it for you? New allies to join your crew, brand-new equipment to boost your abilities, fresh Epics to take down, and even new bosses and cities to explore.

The gameplay maintains the frantic, cooperative essence of the base game but adds extra layers of strategy and danger. It's the perfect expansion for those looking to extend their adventures or for players who have mastered the base game and are hungry for new challenges that test their group's limits. Gear up, gather your allies, and see if you truly have what it takes to live up to the name Steelslayer!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Steelslayer without the base game?
Not at all! Since it's an expansion, you must have the base game 'The Reckoners' to play.
What are these 'odules' mentioned on the box?
They are packs of content (new items, enemies, or rules) that you can use together or separately to change the game's style.
Does the expansion make the game much harder?
It can! Since you can add new Epics and bosses, the difficulty increases depending on which modules you choose to include.
Does it work for solo play?
Absolutely! The expansion maintains the base game's solo rules, just with more content options.
How many players can play?
The same as the base game, from 1 to 6 players, depending on your chosen configuration.
