About the game
The battle against the relentless hordes continues in Boomtown, an expansion for Shadowrift. Two new monster factions join the assault. The Goblins bring evil magics, crude weaponry, and an excessive amount of explosive bombs with them. In contrast to the Goblins, the gargantuan Colussus assails heroes and villagers alike with powerful claws, and horrendous weapons embedded throughout its giant horrific body. To combat these new threats, two new Heroes join the fray. The skilled Fencer strikes with precision while avoiding enemy blows with ease while the Chronomancer uses their powers of illusion and alteration of time to manipulate the odds to their favor. -description from publisher

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Shadowrift: Boomtown is 45–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Shadowrift: Boomtown for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
