In this first expansion for Epic Death!, it is a time of even more mighty heroes and much-desired ancient treasures, as a host of brave new adventurers step forward to claim lost artefacts of unimaginable power. It's time to go Hardcore! Hardcore Mode contains two brand new modules for Epic Death! which add all new game-play to the base game. If you're looking to bring in more strategy and depth to the game, this has been made with you in mind! Hardcore Mode is broken down into two modules: A set of Epic Adventurers (comprising of 40 cards) and a bunch of new Epic Loot (made up of 52 Cards). If you like, they can be played with individually but for the full Hardcore experience it's very much recommended that you bring them together. You'll also remember the incredible treasures found in the original game. Epic Loot adds an entirely new Loot deck full of Magical Loot which can affect gameplay in surprising and... 'interesting' ways when equipped on your Adventurers. You'll get 40 all new Loot Cards as well as 12 very special Heritage Powers. There's a reason we're calling it Hardcore Mode...
