## Description
If you're already hooked on the steampunk and action-packed universe of The World of Smog: Rise of Moloch, get ready for more! 'The Dragon' arrives as an expansion that injects a new three-mission campaign onto your table, promising more intrigue and combat. Additionally, two new Gentlemen land to shake things up: Peachy Carnehan and Mister Honk, each with their exclusive tactics and miniatures. The expansion also brings three new Agents – Li Fong, Fu Manchu, and the fearsome The Opium Dragon – along with eight minion miniatures (Fangs), ready to follow orders. To add that touch of novelty to the board, a new campaign book and a set of double-sided tiles are included, allowing the battlefield to change with each game. This expansion deepens the experience with more characters, missions, and challenges, ideal for those who want to extend the adventure and explore new strategies within the SMOG world. Remember that the base game is required to play, and the language dependency is high, so be prepared to read a lot or have a good translator nearby!
