About the game
A four card pack that adds one Dragon per Lair. This pack is included in the Kickstarter version of the base game but is also available on the publisher's website. The pack also includes a punchboard with ten Bounty tiles and a rules card: During setup one Dragon card is placed above its respective Lair card (but underneath the regular monster cards). During gameplay, if a Dragon card is revealed, two random Bounty tiles are placed face-up on that card. The first player to slay a Dragon earns the noted Influence and chooses one of the Bounty tiles to take as their Reward, but the Dragon stays in play. The second player to slay the Dragon earns the noted Influence and the remaining Bounty tile, then removes the Dragon card from the game. Additionally a new Dragon Banner is introduced in the Bounty tiles. This Dragon Banner is scored at the end of the game as if it were a Banner Privilege tile and is a different Banner than those in the base game.
