About the game
Enchanters: Overlords is a standalone expansion that comes with game-altering, nefarious Overlords, 6 new decks, and a big box to fit all the contents from both the Base Game and the Overlords Expansion. In the Overlords Expansion, the nefarious rulers of the Underworld lead the invasion of your Village themselves. Dire consequences await those who let Monsters invade their Village, as do unique rewards for those who dare to face them. One Artifact to rule them all! 15 minutes per player - a short and replayable game! 2 minutes to explain - simple, yet deep gameplay! 1 minute to set up - just shuffle and play! 10 second player turns - no bookkeeping, only action! —description from the publisher
