New Griefbound
The Chimera and the Striga join the ranks of the Griefbound. Each of these new bosses has their own Hunt Book, Stat cards, Attack cards, Opportunity cards, Final Attack cards, Stage cards, and Models. Take the dividers for these Griefbound and place them in the cards holder in the box. Then place all components for each Griefbound behind their respective divider. Special rules for each Griefbound are described in detail on the last pages of the respective Hunt Books, but here is a quick summary:
- Striga introduces an Obsession track - it changes how strong the Griefbound is during the hunt.
- Chimera uses its Head tokens. They act as a special type of Focus for this Griefbound and also substitute the Level Token, showing the remaining Health of each Attack card.
New Elite Enemy
In this expansion a new group of Elite Enemies is introduced - the Werewolves. They come with one new Model and three Elite Enemy cards.
The Werewolves grow in Hunger to become more dangerous and may deal Hunger to Hunters during the hunt.
New Events
Along with the Griefbound, new Events are added to the game. Each of the Griefbound adds three specific Event cards of their own. But when a Griefbound is not present during a hunt, the Events may still come into play in the form of random Events added to the deck.
New Environments
New Griefbound means new places to explore: the Dungeon, the Lair, the Watchtower and the Prison in the form of five Map tiles (including one double-sided Area Environment tile) and six new Terrain Environment cards.
New Secrets
Eight new Secret cards add more to find in the new Environment and there may be some new Items representing relics to be dug up in old places. To implement new Secret cards, add them to the Secret deck of the base game. Note that some cards (#4 and #9) add additional duplicates to the existing Secrets - place them next to other cards of the same number.
How to Implement This Expansion
This expansion does not introduce any new rules or new component types to the base game. To implement the expansion simply add the cards to the corresponding decks of the base game.
Rapid Hunt
Here are the setup modifications required for the Rapid Hunt game mode for the new Griefbound:
| Griefbound | Setup Modification |
|---|---|
| Chimera | Place a 2 (numbered badge icon) on each Head token. |
| Striga | The Griefbound gains 2 [icon: black symbol with a red drop; not spelled out in text] . |
Note: the Striga's Rapid Hunt setup icon is a graphic symbol on the printed sheet with no text equivalent in the source. It is transcribed here as a placeholder. Consult the printed Striga Hunt Book, or the base game's Rapid Hunt rules for the matching status/Griefbound resource, to confirm which icon it is.
