About the game
Expansion to King Down which contains 20 new miniatures and 20 new character cards. New minis are Bow (Archer), Bash (Paladin), Block (Guard), Beast (Beast) and Cog (Maester). A motley crew of powerful but capricious characters. Bow (a.k.a The Archer) can "take" pieces from a distance, without moving, while Beast (a.k.a The Beast) cannot move, unless it is taking another piece. Bash (a.k.a The Paladin), on the other hand, can move quite freely, yet he himself is taken whenever it takes. Block (a.k.a The Guard) cannot take, yet no other piece can take him down. As for Cog (a.k.a The Maester), well let's just say he's a very resourceful guy...
