About the game
Having lived a hard life on the streets, a cutthroat Scoundrel is quick with a wink and a smile, all with a knife at the ready and a plan for escape mapped out. Though resourceful and dangerous in a fight, he is also not one to be easily trusted, as self-preservation and his own acquisition of wealth and glory are foremost on his mind. This Hero Pack allows players to take on the role of a charming but sometimes backstabbing Scoundrel, with a thousand tricks up his sleeve and countless connections and gambits. His pet pickpocket monkey sits ever perched on his shoulder, ready to help with traps and exploring, while also making off with ill-gotten supplies and treasures. Includes miniatures for both the Male and Female Scoundrel, and all the cards, counters, rules, and Skill Tree needed to add this dastardly but lovable Hero to your games of Shadows of Brimstone! —description from the publisher
