    In general, the cards are nice, as is the addition of skirmishes, which, although they don't give victory points, provide a bonus to whichever side wins them and also activate a battleground.

    The two-player mode is a bit challenging since you have to draw from 3 decks and keep separate cycle and elimination piles for each, but it still has a lot of depth this way.

    Of course, there's also the epic duel where all the cards simply go into the Free Peoples and Shadow decks respectively, which significantly increases the luck factor, but it's epic and there's also an official way released by the game's designer to make it more controlled.

    The 6-player mode, although I didn't expect it, turns out really nice, but it has one drawback: all players need to know the game, otherwise it takes way too long. If they do know it, it lasts up to about 3 hours for that number of players.

    The 4-player mode here is a bit strange, as 2 players (1 from each side) will have to manage 2 decks and 2 hands. Okay, it's playable, but still not the best for players who play once per round.

    Overall, it's worth it if you like the base game and the lore; it brings out tension and excitement at many moments.

    I'm looking forward to the next expansion, "Hope & Despair," which adds the story cards, to be released.
