About the game
The little town of Fallbrook, once haven of demons and threshold of apocalypse, is doomed. Despite the victory of the Angelic Host over the great serpentine beast, they could not stop the cataclysmic earthquakes that shook the town to its’ very foundations. A sinkhole opened in the wilderness just beyond the edge the town has revealed a castle old as time, and uncovered a new plot. Demons sworn to a secret rebellious sect: The Council of The Fallen. Now a saint has returned to Fallbrook. Guided by heavenly visions, and prophesying doom. Walking alone and facing insurmountable opposition against forces both spiritual and corporeal, he has few bulwarks against failure. Except you. His guardian angels. Deliverance: Council of The Fallen is an expansion to the acclaimed Deliverance board game, featuring 6 new playable angels, new minions and Princes to battle, a challenging Campaign that further explores the mysteries of Fallbrook, an arsenal of new cards and effects that add even greater variety and replayability to the base game, a 5th player mode, and more. Delve deeper into the secrets of the demon infested castle, and determine the fate of Fallbrook through your choices. In this expansion to Deliverance, experience a branching campaign where your ultimate level of victory depends on your choices and secondary objectives earned throughout the campaign. Will Fallbrook be destroyed? Who will survive its destruction? Or will you triumph and see it granted total deliverance? —description from the publisher
