Shadowrift: Eve of the Sickle Moon is an exciting expansion to the cooperative deck-building game Shadowrift, where 1 to 6 players join forces to defend a town against an onslaught of monsters in a high-stakes fantasy siege. With easy-to-learn rules, this game is perfect for both new and experienced players, offering 45 to 120 minutes of thrilling gameplay. Published in 2016 by game designer Jeremy Anderson, this expansion builds on the original game, adding new challenges and gameplay mechanics to keep players on their toes. The Eve of the Sickle Moon expansion introduces two new monster factions to the mix: the Lycanthrope and the Harrowood. The Lycanthrope faction is made up of fearsome were-animals that can spread their curse by biting villagers, becoming even more powerful when the full moon rises. On the other hand, the Harrowood faction is a twisted forest that seeks to destroy humanity, creating Overgrowths that empower their faction and speed up the town's destruction. To combat these new threats, players have access to four new hero cards with druidic powers and four new hero cards with Elementalist powers, giving them more tools to fight back against the monsters. Additionally, three new villagers and a Wall have been added to the game, providing more options for players to defend their town. As a cooperative game, Shadowrift: Eve of the Sickle Moon encourages teamwork and strategic deck-building, bag-building, and pool-building mechanics. Players must work together to build their decks, manage their resources, and make tactical decisions to survive the monster onslaught. With its engaging gameplay and immersive fantasy setting, this expansion is perfect for fans of cooperative games and fantasy adventures. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the series, Shadowrift: Eve of the Sickle Moon offers a fun and challenging experience that's sure to keep you coming back for more.
