About the game
Hey gamers! If you're already a fan of Viceroy's strategic board and want to spice up your games, check out this promo pack! This expansion brings 10 new cards that integrate with the three modules of the base game: Aristocrats, Invasion, and Underworld. For the Aristocrats, there's the 'Life Peerage' card, which rewards you at the end of the game by copying an opponent's ability. In the Invasion section, get ready to face new monsters, like the Dragon Kin and the Djinn, and a law card called 'Military Exercise,' which allows you to fight monsters without penalty and without discarding them afterward. The Underworld module gains the 'Indulgence' card, giving you flexibility to trade bribe tokens for gems at the end of the game. And there's more: a new character card, 'Mistress,' which scales with the combat tokens you accumulate. These cards add new layers of strategy and combos, maintaining the auction and hand management essence we love in Viceroy. It's the kind of addition that makes the game even more replayable and surprising, perfect for those who want to explore all the possibilities of this dark and addictive universe.
