The Epic Challenge enriches the Core set’s gameplay in components and game mechanics. As new iconic heroes, Seoni, the sorcerer, and Fumbus, the alchemist, together with their new spell, feat, and item cards, introduce new mechanics and new possible strategies for the players. Moreover, five new monsters (Black Dragon, Goblin Pyro, Gargoyle, Nightmare, Pharoah Mummy) increase the variety of the game and add new monsters’ special abilities. Furthermore, the Trap tiles introduce an entirely new game mechanic. More accurately, they substitute some Arena tiles and teach a new way to score points. As soon as you reach them, firstly, you roll the summoning die to check if the trap is active. Then you draw a trap card. Such cards are divided into four decks, reflecting the four rounds of the game. They pose you a challenge based on your ability modifiers. If you succeed, you score glory points; otherwise, you get misfortune points.

The Final Challenge widens the variety of the game by adding three independent expansions in one single box. Primarily, two new epic monsters (Pit Fiend Devil and the Drider) enter the Arena, whose special attacks and abilities, such as the frightful presence, and the draw poison, will pose new fearsome challenges to the players. Furthermore, the event cards add new special rules in every game. At the very start of the game, the players must draw 4 Event cards from the pile. Every round will be influenced by one of them. Lastly, the Potion expansion introduces utterly new game mechanics. More specifically, it includes both heroes’ and monsters’ potion cards, which provide them with unique powers. They work as consumable items, and they are the only tokens that heroes can collect on tiles different from the summoning ones.
