    Mage Knight Board Game: Krang Character Expansion

    Worth it

    A BGG rundown calls Krang an interesting, strong character with original skills, and a good addition because the base box has few characters. It has no new scenarios.

    Needs: Just the base game

    Adds: A new playable character, Krang the Orc Chaos Shaman, with a prepainted miniature, unique starting cards and skill tokens.

    Mage Knight Board Game: Shades of Tezla

    Needs: Just the base game

    Adds: A new Mage Knight, Braevalar, plus two faction leader avatar dials, seven location tokens, 24 faction tokens, 32 enemy tokens, new scenarios and rules for five players.
