About this expansion

Defenders of the Realm: Hero Expansion #3 is a 2011 expansion for the base game, listed for 1–4 players with a 120-minute play time. It adds four new heroes, each with a miniature and character card, along with new global effects cards and tokens.

These heroes bring different talents to the defense of the realm. The Feline can shadow a moving Hero or General, advancing with them when traveling on foot or horseback, while her reflexes and claws make her a powerful warrior.

  • Shaman: A shape-shifter and magic user whose Arrows of Destruction devastate minions. Changing into a Wolf or Bear gives him valuable movement and combat abilities.
  • Seeker: A hero who can glimpse the future, knowing where the next Minion attack will occur and whether a General will move. Her foresight lets her use all Special Cards as Battle Luck cards, and she can summon confusing images when enemies survive her attacks.
  • Thief: A skilled infiltrator who scouts the Dark Lord’s army and steals battle plans from a General’s headquarters tent. Her daggers and ability to steal treasure can help her question enemies and gain valuable Hero Cards.

The expansion also includes a half-dozen global effects cards and three tokens for use with the Defenders of the Realm base game. Together, these additions offer new character abilities and further tools for confronting the threats facing the realm.

With its varied hero roles, distinctive miniatures, and additional cards, Defenders of the Realm: Hero Expansion #3 expands the available choices for groups returning to the base game.
