Schatten der Macht: Namenlos is an expansion for Schatten der Macht released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 60–180 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up.
This expansion includes errata of a previous scenario ("Invasion der Verdammten") as well as the new scenario "Namenlos", where players must work together to prevent the Dark Nameless God ("der Namenlose") from returning and bringing the world to his knees. This expansion features special events (e.g. riots and mass panic), creatures of legend (e.g. Basilisk, Sea Serpent Attack) and new allies with special powers (famous characters in the world of the Dark Eye). In this apocalyptic and epic scenario, players can ally with an army of Yetis, survive the event of falling stars and deal with demons of the Nameless God - and much more. The base Game "Schatten der Macht" as well as the 2 Expansions "Verborgene Mächte" and "Graue Eminenzen" are needed to play this Expansion.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
