Massive Darkness: Fire Giant is an expansion for Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape released in 2026 for 1–6 players. It was designed by Alex Olteanu and Marco Portugal.
A variant of Giantkind wrought by the mad Wizard Kings in ancient times, Fire Giants hold an affinity for flame like few other species. They walk through intense flames with nary a flinch, and conjure forth shields and walls of searing fire in their own defense. Shadowreach has few Giantkin wandering its caverns, but Fire Giants often undertake a pilgrimage to reach the world's 'heart flame', meaning caverns of magma and molten rivers. Such a quest would be innocuous enough, if they did not also pledge to make war on every living creature they find. Adds 1 Roaming Monster and 6 cards.
