About the game
The Warrens are a unique location, as here you will find something that no other location has. As you explore around the aqueducts, you will see that some of the areas have unique abilities that others don’t. If you stay long enough in these areas, then it is certain that you will get a disease.. A visit to the Sanitarium will be mandatory after you leave the dungeon. Two new Heroes will arrive at the Hamlet with this new expansion, the Leper and the Antiquarian. The Swinefolk are the unique enemies you will encounter only in the Warrens location. They are all beasts or human beasts, and their deformities give them high resistances, especially to blight. This expansion gives you 26 new monsters (7 unique monster sculpts and 3 Bosses). For a total of 28 miniatures including the Heroes (not including potential Stretch Goals).
