About this expansion

Conan: Demon of the Earth is a 2016 board game for 2–5 players, with an indicated play time of 60 minutes. This release combines a concise set of physical components with a striking piece of Conan fiction from Robert E. Howard’s Beyond the Black River.

The official description presents a supernatural apparition observed by Conan. Its demoniac face has red eyes “as coals of living fire,” while its slender, man-like torso is covered with snaky scales. Below the waist, long crane-like legs end in splay, three-toed feet like those of a huge bird.

The passage also describes blue fire fluttering and running along the creature’s monstrous limbs, seen through a glistening mist. It identifies unusual features associated with Zogar Sag, including oblique eyes, sharp ears, and wolfish, thin lips—details exaggerated in the apparition.

As a compact release, Conan: Demon of the Earth includes the following contents:

  • Four tiles, including two in French and two in English
  • One plastic miniature
  • A designation as KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE

With its bilingual tile set, single plastic miniature, and evocative literary description, the release offers a focused addition for groups of 2–5 players. Its imagery leans into dark fantasy, monstrous transformation, and the unsettling atmosphere of Howard’s fiction.
