Second half of a campaign - *sigh*. The first half is in "Mists of Bilehall." Three new monster classes, some new tiles and a handful of cards rounds out the contents. The set does introduce Hybrid classes, which is an nice concept. In the end, still a little disappointing.

Bought this along with Mists of Bilehall to play them together as a new campaign. The hybrid classes are lazy and not especially interesting, the new monsters are pretty innovative and cool, especially if you like undead and the new "campaign" is very different and super hard. However, you do end up getting less for more money than a single big-box expansion... [b]House rules level: See base game[/b]

SUPER weird expansion that is actually incomplete. Mists of Bilehall is Act I and Chains That Rust is Act II. They should've definitely combined the two expansions into one big box like Labyrinth and Nerekhall. Because they didn't do that, this one has a lot less value as an expansion. In this case, there are NO HEROES. CLASSES + Monk + Battlemage + Steelcaster + Watchman These are hybrid classes and I'm still trying to figure out all the implications these things introduce into the game. They're very strong. MONSTERS + Shambling Colossus (actually strong!) + Dispossessed - Marrow Priest + 3 Lieutenant (normally I exclude these but there are 3 and they're some of the best) OTHER + Tiles / Scenarios (only half) + Items / Condition / Relics + OL Class (actually fun Soulbinder!) - Only Act II of everything listed here Mists + Chains together is easily a 10/10 superexpansion like Labyrinth and Nerekhall. In fact I'd say it's almost as necessary "an expansion" as Labyrinth (better than, but less required for a collection). Separately they are mediocre. They do introduce some much-needed Overlord power. It's a shame there are no new heroes when there are plenty in the Terrinoth-verse to choose from.
