About the game
The Goblin Mage is a new Catacomb Lord for Catacombs (Third Edition) that has the ability to summon clones of himself. Choose which clone (blue, purple, or green) is placed during the setup phase. Features two variations of the Stromm Catacomb Lord, with the second version intended for more experienced players. There is also a monster version corresponding room card where he is featured. The summon Stromm shot is like a normal summon shot except it allows the overseer to summon up to two additional clones. All clones in play share Stromm's collective pool of remaining health points. Each clone takes his own turn, performing one of the shot sequences listed on the rules card. When damaged is inflicted on a clone, the piece is returned to the Overseer and Stromm's health track is reduced by the amount of damage inflicted. A minimum of one clone must remain in play. Clones may be summoned repeatedly during the battle phase. Once Stromm's health track is reduced to 0, all his clones are defeated. Available as part of the 2020 Dice Tower Kickstarter Builders Pack.
