About the game
What can you expect from this expansion? Almighty Lord Vortexeios who comes when the Golem is destroyed! Heroes have to defeat Lord Vortexeios if they want to escape from the Labyrinth! Lord Vortexeios has much Life and on top of that he moves quickly around the board! Lord Vortexeios spreads havoc and mayhem by destroying the Labyrinth or changing its layout! Keys and magic items help in combat with this powerful creature! Story: The Golem has guarded the Labyrinth for ages… But he was not always as we know him now. Before his creation, the desert was inhabited by Sand Elementals. The sole purpose of their existence was turning the whole world into the Great Desert. It was because the sands gave power that could threaten even the Ancients themselves. When the Elementals grew in power, their ruler, Lord Vortexeios, Mustered a huge army and attacked the races created by the Ancients. Many lives were lost, buried under the sands and thrown into an endless sleep. It seemed nothing could stop Vortexeios. But then the Ancients intervened. They used the most powerful artifacts known to them. They crushed the army of the Elementals so that only few escaped. Finally, they defeated Lord Vortexeios and locked him inside a sentient construct - the Golem. This creation has been bereaving Lord Vortexeios of power for centuries so that he can never free himself to plague the world. However, what will happen if the Golem is destroyed? Will Vortexeios, Lord of Sand Elementals return?
