What's in the Stronghold box

• Mission Book, player aid and Stronghold unit leaflet
• 12 map tiles, including 7 Subterranean tiles
• town board, 7 town building tiles and a town model
• 2 hero miniatures and 2 double-sided hero boards
• 7 unit miniatures
• 70 cards, including 20 Spell Scroll cards
• 101 tokens and 30 acrylic cubes

New rules: underground, spell scrolls and quicksand

• Subterranean tiles - separate map tiles you can only enter through a Subterranean Gate or the Town Portal spell, giving scenario maps a second level.
• Spell Scrolls - each card carries two face-down spells. A scroll spell does not count toward your spell limit, so you can still cast one from your hand in the same combat round. You can also sell a scroll at a Trading Post.
• Quicksand - a spell that scatters face-down tokens over the combat board. A unit that steps into quicksand ends its move.
• Corrosion and Attack tokens - lower a unit's defense or boost its attack.

Stronghold scenarios and campaign

The Mission Book has one scenario for each multiplayer mode: War of the Mighty for two alliances of two, Dungeon Keeper as a two-player clash and Dwarven Tunnels for 2-3 cooperative players. For solo play there is a three-scenario campaign: Harvest, Gathering the Legion and Secrets Revealed.

Who it's for

Stronghold is the next step once the three factions of the base game feel familiar, or when four people want to play: Alliance mode needs at least one expansion with a new faction. The Mission Book also adds optional rules for base game scenarios. Another faction with a campaign and a sea map comes in Cove (Przystań).
