About the game
This expansion adds new cards for ORCS AT THE GATES covering issues 24-34 of the Knights of the Dinner Table comic book. In addition, somewhere (we think it was Timmy Jackson) somehow, Hard Eight Enterprises got the great idea that orcs should be armed with guns. Expands Knights of the Dinner Table: Orcs at the Gates
