Action Point Allowance System
Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling

Dungeon Crawler
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management

Miniatures
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
Games with partnerships offer players a set of rules for alliances and teams. Partners are often able to win as a team, or penalties are enforced for not respecting alliances
Partnerships
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.

  1. 7.5 out of 10

    Second of two of a small box expansion for Descent. Undead Ravonloft style theme. Probably the most difficult campaign to date. Would have rated it higher but I feel a little robbed on value based on cost of this expansion, especially considering all quests are only 1 encounter each (instead of the standard 2 encounters per quest). One of the better storylines in the D2E series with a climatic (abet short) conclusion.

  2. 39 cards 41 x 63 (done) MDG-7039 41 x 63 (100pcs) 19 cards 57 x 88 (done) MDG-7040 56 x 87 (100pcs)

  3. 9 out of 10

    Wow - just wow. Simply put, this expansion is a masterpiece. Just look at the miniatures, c'mon! The overall "undeath" feeling is perfectly conveyed and the new monster models -truly- look terrifying. Their stats seem to be a little situational, but their in-game flow is perfect. However, what really makes this expansion shine over the other ones is its innovation. The new hybrid classes are surprisingly well-balanced, and bring a lot of new combinations for players who want to experiment with new champion-class combos. I totally loved the new Soulbinder deck, and ended up including the Scourge in every single game I've played so far. Having an Overlord's pet around the board really changes -everything- for both sides and it's a groundbreaking innovation. I can't but totally recommend this expansion.

Description from the publisher:

Your journey thus far has taken you deep into the Mistlands and the domain of Waiqar the Undying. In this land of shifting mists, uncertain footing, and terrifying undead, you are certain of little. The heroes that you’ve fought alongside for years seem suddenly alien and unknowable. Spirits loom up out of the fog and vanish moments before they touch you. Even the air you breathe seems to be worming its way inside you, tainting your blood and binding you to the Mistlands with indelible bonds. More and more, you are sure of only one thing: you must find a way to escape.

The heroes’ adventures through the Mistlands continue with The Chains That Rust, a new Descent expansion that pits your might against ever more deadly dangers. Within this expansion, you’ll discover an entirely new one-act campaign that can be played on its own or as a sequel to the campaign included in Mists of Bilehall. New Tainted cards and a new Overlord class give the overlord player new tools, even as eight plastic figures swell his armies with new monsters. Finally, you can stretch beyond your hero’s traditional Class decks for the first time with the addition of hybrid classes!
