About this expansion
Descent: The Tomb of Ice is a 2008 expansion for Descent: Journeys in the Dark, supporting 2–5 players and games lasting about 240 minutes. It carries the adventure far north of Terrinoth, into the frozen realm of Isheim, where an age of frost threatens to swallow the world.
Unquiet apparitions of a lost people herald the spreading arctic blight as it encroaches farther south. In this icy setting, heroes face a selection of dangerous new foes, from spectral shades and volcanic lava beetles to petrifying medusas, stealthy wendigos, and gigantic ice wyrms.
The expansion includes more than two dozen new plastic figures, along with six new heroes ready to join the struggle. Heroes also gain new treasures, a new potion type, and an entirely new weapon for their arsenal: Feat cards that can be used to surprise the overlord.
