About the game
Dungeon Alliance: Champions is the first expansion to the Dungeon Alliance deck-building miniatures adventure game. This expansion adds the following new materials to the game: 1) New Heroes & Upgrades: The expansion includes 4 new heroes, including each character’s Hero Card, Hero Figure, and 3 Starting Deck Cards. The expansion also includes 8 new Upgrade Cards. 2) Deck of Many Treasures: The Deck of Many Treasures is a separate deck of cards that provides potential rewards for players willing to "dig deeper" into Treasure Chests and Locked Chests that they have opened. 3) Hero Selection Tokens: Hero Selection Tokens provide an easier way to select random heroes targeted by Final Enemies and their minions. 4) Deep Dungeon Final Enemy Room: The Deep Dungeon Final Enemy Room allows players to confront Final Enemies in a more climactic fashion. Heroes who find a quest entrance now open the way to the Final Enemy’s deadly lair filled with additional minions and traps. 5) Final Enemy Room Cards: Deep Dungeon Final Enemy Room Cards provide additional challenges for players who venture into the enemy’s lair, including vicious minions and debilitating traps. 6) Titan Room: The Realm of the Titan provides a godlike Final Enemy for players who play in Campaign Mode.
