About the game
There is a bad moon rising, full of blood and ill omens. The Great War has come to Thelgrim, and death follows in its wake. Moon Over Thelgrim is the first expansion set for Diskwars. With Moon Over Thelgrim, you may expand your Diskwars game with more 100 new Disks, including new creatures, spells, lands and even a new faction. Moon Over Thelgrim comes in eight different army packs: The Draco Wing (Dragonkin), Frothan's Ghouls (Undead), The Groman Guard (Knights), The Sons of Triamlavar (Elves), Zocrab's Marauders (Orcs), The Hammers of Urth (Dwarves), The Knives of Q'aro Fenn (Uthuk), and Waiqar's Sundermen (Acolytes). Each pack has four set flats of that faction and four random flats. What's New in Moon Over Thelgrim: Terrain - The expansion includes new rules for terrain, as well as six new Terrain Disks. Champions - These unique new hero Disks add power to your "pure" armies. New Disk Abilities - Dozens of the new Creature Disks feature new abilities to add variety and strategy to your game. New Scenarios - No Diskwars expansion would be complete without new scenarios, and Moon Over Thelgrim gives you several from which to choose. A New Faction - The mysterious wilds of the Thelgrim Peninsula are home to strange new faction that does not appreciate outsiders invading its homeland.
