This expansion introduces the Sentinels, mystic warriors arising from the Jade Kingdom. They are beings from an ancient era, capable of hiding in plain sight thanks to their magical armor, protecting Earth whenever the fearsome Oni attempt to cross the portal into our world. What's most interesting is that these warriors are not a uniform mass of soldiers; they have adapted over the centuries. While some maintain ancient traditions and rituals, others have incorporated modern technology to face current threats. They walk between two worlds, serving as the frontline between the mystical and the mortal. It is important to note that their focus has shifted: they are here to save the planet, but not necessarily humanity. The mission is to preserve the cosmic balance, whatever the cost. Featuring detailed miniatures and a board that transforms every game, this expansion raises the strategic tension, bringing new elements of area control and drafting dynamics that make every confrontation with the Oni a unique and unpredictable experience. If you have already mastered the base game, the Sentinels bring the layer of depth needed to turn your sessions into oriental fantasy epics. ## FAQ ### Can I play this expansion without the base game?
