About this expansion

Monolith Arena: Golems is a board game for 2–4 players with an approximately 45-minute play time, released in 2020. Players take on the role of Constructors and create mighty Golems on the arena.

Golems stand out for their strength and toughness, giving them a powerful presence in the arena. However, their abilities are balanced by the limitations of the building process, making their distinctive construction an important part of playing this faction.

Playing as Golems introduces a special mechanism represented by two-sided champion tiles. Rather than becoming wounded in the usual way, Golems get damaged, giving their condition a different role within the game.

  • Play as Constructors creating mighty Golems.
  • Use the Golems’ strength and toughness on the arena.
  • Track damage with two-sided champion tiles.
  • Have damaged Golems raised back by their Constructors.

The ability to raise Golems back after they are damaged is a defining feature of this version of the game. It connects the Constructors directly to the survival of their creations and gives the Golem faction its own identity.

With its focused theme and dedicated mechanism, Monolith Arena: Golems offers a distinct way to experience the arena. Its combination of formidable creatures, construction limits, damage, and revival makes the Golems a memorable choice for players who want to command powerful creations and bring them back through their Constructors.
