About the game
The Kickstarter edition is a compilation item as it also includes Valeria: Card Kingdoms – Expansion Pack #06: Relics and Valeria: Card Kingdoms – Undead Samurai Rider which is a Warden-level monster for the Valeria: Card Kingdoms – Expansion Pack #02: Undead Samurai monster-stack. Darkness looms upon the Kingdom of Valeria. Werewolves, Vampires, and other shadowy creatures reach out in the night to tear apart your people. But never fear, new Citizens have joined the fray - some specializing in taking out these dark creatures! Valeria: Card Kingdoms – Shadowvale brings in a whole new set of Citizens, Monsters, Domains, and Dukes that you can play stand-alone using components from the base game, or mix with card stacks from the base game for all new experiences.
