Grimcoven: The Renegade Hunter mini-expansion

About this expansion

Grimcoven: The Renegade Hunter mini-expansion is a 2025 addition for 1–4 players, designed for sessions of around 120 minutes. It introduces a dangerous hunter who rejects the game’s central source of power: Lament.

In Grimcoven, players increase their power by accepting Lament from fallen enemies. This brings valuable benefits, but it also corrupts them and grants negative perks. Hunters must carefully balance corruption against the strength they need to defeat the evil threatening the city.

The Renegade Hunter takes a radically different position. He hates Lament and rejects it completely, refusing everything touched by it. Yet he is too weak to fight the bosses directly, so he turns his attention toward the Hunters instead.

• Lament provides benefits while also increasing corruption.
• Hunters must manage corruption while seeking enough power to defeat a boss.
• A corruption card can trigger the Renegade Hunter’s arrival in combat.
• Once involved, he attempts to hunt down a player tainted by Lament.

His hostility does not depend on whether you have misused your power. Even if you maintain full control over Lament and use it to kill the boss terrorizing the city, the Renegade Hunter may still consider you tainted.

With its focused conflict between absolute rejection and necessary power, Grimcoven: The Renegade Hunter adds a sharp new danger to the struggle against corruption. Every benefit gained from fallen enemies may carry consequences beyond the usual negative perks.
