About the game
“Apprehend these traitors!” shouts the Count. “I am surrounded by spies!” All your protestations of innocence are of no use. A dozen guards grab you, disarm you, take your valuables, and tie you up. After they have left, one of you grabs the knife with tied hands and cuts their neighbor’s bonds. It is pitch dark around you, you are exhausted and only equipped with the scantiest weapons, but the fear of an uncertain fate at dawn drives you forward, into the darkness… The Inn of the Black Boar is an expansion for Aventuria: the Adventure Card Game published in 2016. The Inn of the Black Boar includes four new heroes: the honorable Amazon Warrior, Palinai Erlendur of Kurkum, the streetwise Grolm Merchant, Neerax Dal, the mysterious Maraskan Buskur, Nicole Sororis, and the battle-hardened Tobrian Mercenary, Heigan Malleaux. Although all four of these new heroes are ready to drop into Duel Mode, the heart of this expansion is its amazing new exploratory dungeon crawl. Based on the very first adventure for The Dark Eye™ of the same name, the Inn of the Black Boar uses random Dungeon Cards and 20 different random combat encounters so that the adventure is completely different every time you play, making it the most replayable Aventuria expansion yet! —description from the publisher
