About the game
What you do in a play session
Tin Helm: Dungeon Promo Cards adds two fresh dungeon cards – Grotto and Lost Tomb – that lengthen each Tin Helm dungeon by one extra room. The immediate result is a slightly longer level, but the fun spikes as the cards introduce random monsters and surprise loot, nudging the difficulty up a notch. These cards are bundled in the Dustrunner set and also appear in Grey Gnome Games' Gnome Pack #1 on the Game Crafter platform. Being print‑on‑demand, you can grab just these extras without waiting for a massive print run. Perfect for players already hooked on Tin Helm who want more variety in solo or group sessions, the cards slot right into the existing deck, replacing or adding new rooms using the same exploration, dice‑rolling, and resource‑management rules you already know. No new rules to master – just more rooms, more monsters, and more treasure to keep your underground adventures fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players can use the promo cards?
The cards are designed for Tin Helm's solo mode but can be used in multiplayer games without restriction.
How long does a game last with the new cards?
Adding one extra room typically extends a session by 5‑10 minutes, depending on the group's pace.
Do I need any extra components besides the cards?
No. You only need the Grotto and Lost Tomb cards and the core Tin Helm deck.
Do these cards increase the game's difficulty?
Slightly – random monsters and loot make encounters a bit tougher.
Can I print the cards at home?
Since they're print‑on‑demand from Game Crafter, buying the pre‑printed set is the easiest way; home printing may affect quality.
Are the cards compatible with other Tin Helm expansions?
Yes, they fit into the standard deck and can be mixed with other expansions without issues.
What is the complexity rating of these cards?
They keep the game’s light complexity, around 2/5 on the BGG scale.
