About the game
Delve into Hell, loot powerful artefacts, and recruit demons in the expansion to The Necrohamster card game! This expansion includes 45 new creature cards (13 unique designs), a new Title card, 3 new Artefact cards as well as a bunch of other exanimate cards required to play the game. Looting Hell also expands the player count up to 2-6 players (with just one copy of the base game required). The main themes for Looting Hell are delving into Hell and pilfering powerful artefacts. Artefacts are unique cards that start under no-one's control, and are acquired by summoning their corresponding creature. These artefacts are powerful cards, and much coveted by all Necrohamsters. If another player subsequently plays a card that allows them to take that artefact, then they will take it from the player who currently possess it. Also included in Looting Hell are numerous denziens of Hell, new creatures and monsters that all Necrohamsters can recruit to their cause. There are also new skeletal, spirit, and zombie reinforcements. These are cards which synergise with the both base game and expansion, opening up new combinations and avenues of play. —description from the designer

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Necrohamster: Looting Hell for ages 7 and up.
