About the game
Narrative from Scenario Card: The Battle of... The Floating Pyramid Legends are told in ancient taverns about the floating pyramid. They say it was enchanted by an old wizard who lived in the desert. Truthfully, it was built by a dwarf who did a terrible job at reading the directions. But, the pyramid is filled with gold so everybody is fighting for it. The wizards want to keep the legend, the dwarves want credit for building it, and the dragons fly above to take all the treasure they can. Referenced in the Claim Anniversary Edition rulebook, Claim Scenario Cards are used to tell a story and set up a battle.Sold directly from White Goblin Games, this scenario contains a short narrative along with preselected factions & locations from multiple products within the Claim family, requiring all items listed under "Expands" to use*. A table displaying all such information for this and other Claim Scenario Cards is available for viewing in the Claim Scenario Card List. *Claim Anniversary Edition is NOT required. However, it contains Claim 1 and Claim 2, and so it can be used in their place.
