About the game
This expansion adds two more Guardians to the core game, plus Dante himself. It includes 3 miniatures, 2 large cards and new cardboard components: 9 Bells and 8 Desks. It Includes a QR with the rules in 11 languages. Plutus: Form an alliance with the god of wealth, and he will allow you to set up customs offices in Hell to charge passage fees to your rivals. Place one of your two Desks below any shield. Every time a player passes through, they must pay you one drachma. Phlegyas: Summon him by ringing a Bell. Phlegyas the ferryman will navigate out of the muddy waters of the River Styx and come to your aid. Ring one of your Bells and place Phlegyas on a circle. Before playing your Hell phase, you may move the soul laterally to any empty shield in that circle before making it descend to a lower level. Dante: Replace the wooden meeple with this miniature. (Both these guardians were part of the Deluxe Edition of inferno.) —description from the publisher
