Ancient even in the time of the Pharaohs, the Old Kingdoms of Egypt fell into ruin when their gods were forsaken and the armies of Ra rose up to forge a new dynasty. The temples and tombs of the old gods were reclaimed by the desert sands. Only through the trickery and cunning of Seth, the god of chaos, were the last of the ruling class and its armies able to escape, buried for millennia and cursed with unending life in a decrepit mummified form. The Legacy of the Old Kingdoms Enemy Theme Pack brings this ancient mummified host, and the power of their old gods, back to the surface! It includes new Missions for the Cursed Tombs, and over 40 new Game cards with assorted counters. You get 1 Neith Huntress, 6 Decrepit Mummies, 1 Serket Venom Priest, and 3 large Seth Prowlers to unleash the chaos of their master on the Heroes. —description from the publisher
