About the game
The Collapsing Lands are aptly named. Every step you take could see the ground open up like a gaping maw, eager to swallow you whole. But what if there were a hidden world below, filled with secrets and treasures just waiting to be discovered? “On the Edge of Peril” is a Kickstarter exclusive expansion offered in the Collector's Edition pledge. It expands your adventures with new Exploration cards that will hinder your progress until you fight off the danger. During your adventure, you may be instructed (no spoilers ?) to slip the “Peril” divider behind the 110 card. Whenever you take a Terrain card stored after that divider (card nr. 111 and up), you must replace 1 Exploration card attached to that terrain with one showing the “Peril” (skull) icon. Luckily, you possess a Groundquaker, a powerful artifact stolen from the Necrodruids, which will help you push the divider further back and with it the edge of peril!
