Next month will see the Paizo Inc release of the first adventure path expansion for the newly redesigned Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Curse of the Crimson Throne will set the players in motion to protect the city of Korvosa from an onslaught of evil doers and, of course, you’ll need the core set in order to play. The expansion is for one to six players, ages 13+, plays in around 90 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $49.99 when it arrives May 13th.
From Paizo:
The King is Dead, Long Live the Queen!
Korvosa is cursed that none of its monarchs shall ever die of old age or produce an heir. The metropolis teeters on the edge of anarchy. It needs heroes that can face down crime lords, rioting mobs, insane cultists, virulent plague, undead hordes, scheming devils, corrupt nobles, barbarian chieftains, and ancient and forgotten evils that seek to dominate and sacrifice the city.
This expansion to the popular cooperative Pathfinder Adventure Card Game pits 1 to 6 players against monsters, perils, and traps as you save the city of Korvosa from threats both ancient and new. Choose your character; build a deck of unique equipment, magic, and allies; and explore lethal locations as you journey through an exciting fantasy tale. As your adventures continue, your characters will add remarkable gear and breathtaking magic to their decks as they gain incredible powers, all of which they’ll need to challenge more and more powerful threats.
This set includes the storybook and cards for the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path. It requires the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Core Set and expands the maximum number of players to 6 for that set. You can supplement your experience with Character Decks, the Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild, and Pathfinder Adventure Card Game accessories (available separately).
The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path includes:
- 550 cards featuring a wide array of powerful weapons, magical spells, protective armors, versatile items, helpful allies, harrowing blessings, devoted supporters, and a base to help you face a host of vicious monsters, dangerous barriers, vile scourges, and perilous wildcards
- 4 character pawns representing Hakon the skald, Kess the brawler, Quinn the investigator, and Varian the wizard
- 1 48-page storybook featuring all 6 chapters of The Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path
