About the game
The dungeons of Dragon Rock hide a bitter surprise for the Blind Guardian heroes: Phylax the Dragon ...and he's not alone! The witches’ coven has revealed that one of his three offspring could emerge from the well: Khion the Dragon of Ice, Pyros the Dragon of Fire, and Zophos the Dragon of Darkness. Ruthless and terrible because they were born in captivity and raised in the resentment and frustration of their father, these Dragons have terrible powers that the Heroes will discover when the Dragons lash out against them! Welcome to Dying features a miniature dragon that can be assembled with magnets and replaces the Dragon board from the base game, but its operation remains the same: first the head comes out, then the torso with the head, and when the Dragon has completely emerged, the players lose the game. In addition, Welcome to Dying includes 5 cards for each of Phylax’s sons and a new Hero card for each Hero, which are added to their base decks. —description from the publisher

The listed playing time for From the Other Side: Welcome to Dying is 60–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists From the Other Side: Welcome to Dying for ages 14 and up.
