About the game
Description from the publisher: Towns on the Old West frontier are full of danger and adventure around every corner! The Shadows of Brimstone: Frontier Town expansion allows players a deeper and richer Town experience between adventures, adding exciting new types of Towns to find (such as Plague Towns, Outlaw Towns, or Mutant Towns), six new Town Locations to visit (such as the Street Market, Sheriff's Office, Indian Trading Post, or Smuggler's Den), a new expanded Travel Chart, and a deadly new ranged Enemy – Bandits — for use both down in the Mines as well as in Town! With this expansion, Heroes also have the opportunity to play out Adventures in the Frontier Town itself using the new Town Adventure Board! Heroes can protect the townsfolk while battling demons in the streets, have a shootout with Bandits trying to rob the local bank, or find themselves in a duel at high noon! Since the buildings are random, the camp location will now contain limited versions of any crucial buildings that were missing like doc's office, church and saloon.
