About the game

From the publisher: Three new Golems for your Golem Arcana Army: The Burrow Claw is a highly evasive Warsprite, using its Tunneling Blast to slip away from a melee opponent, ending up in any Region with No Cover that it chooses. The Terra Naga is indispensable for dislodging enemies from key locations on the map -- using Scattering Sirocco, a short-range AOE, to displace all Golems from a Region and then using a free displacement on itself, possibly to take their place! The Ravager relentlessly moves through the enemy's lines, leaving destruction in its wake by combining its passive ability that cools down movement when entering an enemy Region and its Duststorm Blade that causes damage to enemies when the Ravager leaves an enemy Region. Also included are three TDI Golem Cards (matching the figures), two double-sided Victory Point tokens, and four new Relic Cards that can be used to augment any Golem army: Zyama’s Anointing: allows a Golem to sacrifice some of its own Health in exchange for more Damage on its next attack. Davati’s Sacrifice: offers a temporary boost to damage equal to the Golem's armor value, but permanently reduces armor to zero. The Lantern of Valli: summons forth the Arena of Valli, a Construct that boosts Accuracy and Damage to all Melee attacks in the region. Metr’s Blood Well: calls forth the blood of the earth, allowing its controller to gather Mana from that region until it is destroyed.
