About the game
Die-Hard Games LLC has been teased since day one to make a “Dino-Riders’ game. Promethean Wars is their next game and to help promote the excitement, they have created this: Promethean Wars LTD Expansion Deck. It gives Die-Hard Backers a taste of whats to come with Promethean Wars being incorporated as an Apex Expansion Deck. Content includes a Promethean War playable Apex Deck of T-Rexes with twin-linked laser cannons, gatling cannon mounted Pterodactyls, and night goggle-ed assassin Raptors. It will feature a wide array of things from the Promethean Wars universe. From the original campaign advertising: This deck is VERY limited and will only ever be printed this one time. Besides, it also allows you to join the Die-Hard Games newsletter to get a back-seat look at the development of Promethean Wars, get a chance to play the game on Tabletopia, and get exclusive downloads. HOWEVER, the deck was reprinted as part of the Apex Theropod Collector's Edition and Promethean Wars has never been released.
