About the game
The Heart of the Nora is an alternate play mode expansion, allowing players to enjoy the game as some of their favourite characters from Horizon Zero Dawn and replay this iconic quest from the videogame. This expansion features the ancient war machines from the time of the old ones - a Deathbringer, and two Corruptors, as well as reference and behaviour cards for these powerful enemies. It also features additional tiles and a deck to allow players to replay the quest, replacing the tracking cards found in the main game. —description from the publisher
