Arena: The Contest – Hydra, Ascaran the Archangel & Vanarus the Demon board game cover

About this expansion

Arena: The Contest – Hydra, Ascaran the Archangel & Vanarus the Demon is a 2019 board game experience for 1–8 players, with a listed play time of 90 minutes. This Kickstarter-exclusive offering adds one boss and two heroes to the world of Arena: The Contest.

The centerpiece is the Hydra, a striking miniature measuring 90 × 120 × 85 mm and standing on a 3-inch base. It comes with a special one-shot Boss Fight cooperative quest, designed to be played after the events that conclude the Epic Campaign.

Alongside the Hydra are two special Kickstarter-exclusive heroes: Ascaran, the Archangel, and Vanarus, the Demon. Both belong to the seventh Combat Role, the Bruiser, a role not currently included in either the Core Box or Expansion Box.

  • One exclusive Hydra boss miniature
  • A special one-shot cooperative Boss Fight quest
  • Ascaran, the Archangel
  • Vanarus, the Demon
  • The Bruiser Combat Role

This content offers a distinct way to continue the setting after the Epic Campaign, while also introducing two unusual hero options through a Combat Role beyond those currently present in the Core Box and Expansion Box. The Hydra, Ascaran, and Vanarus make Arena: The Contest a notable Kickstarter-exclusive addition for players seeking this specific post-campaign quest and character selection.
