About the game
A new horror arises to challenge the ancient powers in Esfah! From the fetid swamps of Esfah, the Swamp Stalkers slithered into the battles that raged in the land. Fearsome mutants created by Death from other species, these creatures of Water and Death bring powerful melee troops and the magic of death and decay with them. Jagged swords, hurled forks, and reptilian eyes abound as these foul abominations roam your battlefields. Can you harness the horror of these swamp troops and their allied monsters to roll to victory in Esfah? Includes 1 10-sided monster die and 7 6-sided unit dice (4 small 16mm, 2 medium 18mm, and 1 large 20mm) of black and green Swamp Stalkers.
