Shadows of Brimstone: Masters of the Void Deluxe Enemy Pack is an expansion for Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients released in 2015 for 1–6 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Jason C. Hill and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Grid Movement, and Role Playing.
The Void is the space between worlds. When you pass through a Gate, you pass through the Void. This set includes three of each of the Void Hound and Void Sorceror Enemy types and the Threat and Spell cards to go with them. The Void Hounds slip in and out of reality as they move, passing through other models and savagely surprise attacking different targets each turn. This means that no one is safe from the hounds, even those hiding out in the back or around corners! The Void Sorcerers cast random spells each round, drawn from a deck of spell cards. You draw a different spell for each Sorcerer each turn. Each card has two different effects listed, depending on whether it’s a normal casting, or was empowered by previous spells. As the Flying Frog image used here shows, it is labelled a Deluxe Enemy Set; however, the 2015 GenCon Preview was released as a Deluxe Enemy Pack.
Shadows of Brimstone: Masters of the Void Deluxe Enemy Pack supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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.
The catalogue lists Shadows of Brimstone: Masters of the Void Deluxe Enemy Pack for ages 12 and up.
