About the game
It's Dia de Muertos, along with dawn the spirits of the dead come out to pay a visit to their loved ones, party and eat and drink once again all their favorite dishes. But these souls are many and excited, they pass through the world in a hurry and sometimes even forget where their homes are, how come they don’t get lost? Luckily the xoloitzcuintles are here! The bonds with man’s best friend are so strong that they surpass life and death, and these loyal dogs are ready to help the dead find their way back home. The Xolo Expansion introduces the xoloitzcuintle to Die of the Dead. These loyal dogs can be used to guide other players to caskets, encouraging them to pick ones which benefit you, for more dice manipulation options on the future. Featuring more ways to mainpulate dice and each other, tokens, casket boards and custom dice, The Xolo Expansion takes everything people love about Die of the Dead and makes more of it. -description from publisher
