About the game
Guides, a camel, a damsel, a sidekick...Now you're ready to find the lost tombs! This new set comes with a variety of fun Ally characters to join your Heroes on their Adventures, including 3 Guides to help find your way through the dark halls and buried chambers of the Tombs (it's always good to have someone else that can check out what that sound was in the dark), a Pack Camel to carry your gear and tools on an expedition into the desert, a Damsel with attitude that can't help but get herself into trouble, but is also prone to lucky finds and feisty sneak attacks, and a trusty Sidekick that has been on many Adventures with you and you can always count on them to bring the right tool for the job and to balance out your own shortcomings. This set also comes with a host of new cards, including Gear, Darkness, and different types/personalities for your Sidekick. It even has cards for some Legendary Sidekicks!
