Description
Dive into the twisted streets of Brighthelm with Paupers’ Ladder: The Bodachs of Brighthelm, the cheeky expansion that drags your crew of 2‑4 adventurers into a fog‑filled nightmare where every corner hides a creepy Bodach and a chance for loot. In just an hour to an hour‑and‑half you’ll be drafting cards, swapping sets, and shuffling decks while your heroes hustle around the map, picking up eerie artifacts and delivering them before the darkness swallows them whole. The rules are a breeze to pick up, but the combo of set collection, area movement and pool‑building keeps the strategy fresh every game. If you loved the base game’s blend of fantasy, horror and light‑hearted fighting, this print‑and‑play expansion adds a new layer of exploration and chaos without any extra rule‑book bloat. Grab your friends, roll the dice, and see if you can climb the ladder before the Bodachs get you.
