About the game
The Treasure Hunter Promo is a special promo that is available exclusively to ACD distribution. The figure has the ability to add deployment points to its owner based on a random dice roll. From the back of the box: The recorded history of Rivet goes back many millennia. Scores of civilizations have risen and fallen in that time and left behind clues, not only of their existence, but of their lost supernatural powers. The TREASURE HUNTER is a scholar of these lost civilizations and the artifacts they have left behind. He believes that by unlocking these clues a lost power may once again be wielded by the inhabitants of Rivet. But will it be possible to control that power once unleashed?
