About the game
After a difficult ascent the heroes had at last reached the cave, which, according to legend, was home to an invincible monster and its immeasurable riches. The heroes believed the huge dark grotto in the mountain flank to be uninhabited, when three mighty heads rose from the darkness and a deep rumbling shook their limbs... Tears of Fire is a monster expansion for Aventuria - The Adventure Card Game, in which the heroes are dealing with a three-headed dragon! In duel mode the dragon is controlled by a player, while in adventure mode the heroes can play the adventure “Tears of Fire201D and face the Giant Wyvern together. Through a selection of six different heads and four age levels the fight against the dragon remains challenging and varied over many games. German original Version: Endlich hatten die Helden nach mühsamem Aufstieg die Höhle erreicht, in der einer Legende nach ein unbezwingbares Ungetüm hausen und unermessliche Reichtümer horten sollte. Gerade glaubten die Helden, die riesige dunkle Grotte der Bergflanke sei unbewohnt, als sich drei gewaltige Köpfe aus der Finsternis erhoben und ihnen ein tiefes Grollen in die Glieder fuhr … Feuertränen ist eine Monstererweiterung für Aventuria - Das Abenteuerkartenspiel, bei der es die Helden mit einem leibhaftigen dreiköpfigen Drachen zu tun bekommen! Im Duell-Modus wird der Drache von einem Spieler gesteuert, während die Helden im Abenteuer-Modus das Abenteuer „Feuertränen“ spielen und sich dem Riesenlindwurm gemeinsam stellen können. Durch eine Auswahl aus sechs verschiedenen Köpfen und vier Altersstufen bleibt der Kampf gegen den Drachen über viele Spiele fordernd und abwechslungsreich.
