## Description
In Valeria, danger lurks in every shadow: from fiery hounds to beasts that bring the north’s icy bite, the threat grows with every turn. To confront these monsters, players must assemble armies of citizens, domains, and, of course, monsters that can turn the tide. Valeria: Card Kingdoms – Flames & Frost brings two even fiercer monster stacks, a fresh set of citizens ready to be recruited, and domains that players can buy to expand their realm. The pack also adds domain cards that unlock new territory control strategies. The core mechanics remain deck, bag, and pool building, where you pick, upgrade, and fine‑tune your cards as the game progresses. Dice rolling injects unpredictability, forcing players to weigh risk and make swift decisions. Open drafting lets everyone choose from a shared pool, ensuring direct competition for resources and making each game feel fresh. Playtime is 30‑45 minutes, perfect for those who want something neither too short nor overly long. With 1‑5 players, the mix of strategy and luck guarantees each match feels unique, and Valeria’s fantasy setting pulls in fans of epic worlds. If you already own the base game and crave more challenges, this expansion is the go‑to choice to grow your empire.
