About the game
Description from the publisher: Expand the party with a cocky new bard and a diabolical new mage! The Magnificent Adonis, Bard of the Ages This bard’s pretentious title (self-given, of course) makes him the envy of other bards… Okay, not really, but he can carry a tune and he’s good in a fight. He uses his three preferred instruments, the flute, the lyre and the drum, to cast bardic magic or just bash bad guys over the head! The Good: Adonis is a fine specimen of a man. The Bad: … and he won’t let you forget it! The Lich King Look over there! It’s the Lich King! This ancient skeletal mage has transferred part of his essence and power to his severed hand, making him highly resistant to attack by the good guys. But even this near-immortal embodiment of evil enjoys a pint at the tavern once in a while! The Bad: Good luck getting past his formidable defenses. The Worse: He knows how to “throw a punch.” Literally. The Red Dragon Inn: Allies – Adonis vs. The Lich King expands the party at the Red Dragon Inn with a new hero and a new villain. These archenemies bring new mechanics and fun to the party, and can be combined with any Red Dragon Inn base set. The Lich King includes a side deck allowing him to be played as a boss in the Boss Battle variant introduced in The Red Dragon Inn 6: Villains. As an added bonus, this set includes custom Player Mats and Deck Dividers that are compatible with The Red Dragon Inn 5: The Character Trove!
