Battlecrest: Eterna Overlord Set is a board game expansion released in 2025 for 1–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Mike Mullins, Dustin Dobson, and Milan Zivkovic and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Square Grid.
The Eterna Overlord Set expansion contains 18 cards. It introduces a new 6-card map (playable in any game mode) and 12 cards for Eterna. This expansion creates a larger, multi-stage cooperative boss battle for 1–4 players, and was designed to be a much more streamlined experience than Imperator (quicker turns, less of a simulation). Eterna feels like a proper boss as well, unleashing round-altering effects, heavy hitting area-of-effect attacks, and structures that cover landmarks which must be destroyed to progress.
