About the game
The new item that has generated the most excitement from backers so far is the Feudal Village Expansion! Much like the Frontier Town Expansion for the original Shadows of Brimstone Old West setting, the Japanese Feudal Village Expansion greatly enhances the Town experience for Forbidden Fortress! This Expansion adds 6 new Town Locations to visit, including the Western Trading Post, Tea House, Brotherhood Temple, Sacred Garden, Gambling Parlor, and the ability to take an audience with the local Samurai Lord. It also includes 8 new Specialty Village Types (such as the Corrupted Village, Nobu Slave Village, or Trading Port), a new deck of Feudal Village Town Event cards, 3 different sizes of Town Map and the Location Tokens for dynamically generating a different Village each time you visit, a large-size folding tactical Village Game Board for playing Missions in Town, as well as 6 new Village Missions, and a new Feudal Bandits Enemy Type to raid the Villages including the Enemy Record Sheet, Threat Cards, and 12 miniatures for these new Enemies. —description from the publisher
