About the game

The Chaostle Melee expansion introduces eight new characters including the Dragon Maiden with the ability to summons the powerful red dragon to aid her in battle, and the Centaur that can allow another character to ride along on its back. Other characters include the Ogre, Gargoyle, Prince, Warrior, Ghoul, and Enchantress. Besides the eight new characters, the expansion allows the castle card to attack back. Of course, you will be able to purchase some siege weapons on your player card to take care of that problem. You could also purchase some health and movement potions for your characters from the merchant if needed. In addition, collect Magic and Summons cards to boost your forces or cast spells on your opponents (even on their turns). As a bonus, the expansion includes a solitaire version of the game as chapter 3 entitled "Black Stones". This version utilizes clips to connect the castle pieces into different configurations.
