{"product_id":"boss-monster-implements-of-destruction-expansion","title":"Boss Monster: Implements of Destruction Expansion","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTurn the Heroes' Own Weapons Against Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a particular satisfaction in watching a would-be hero march confidently into your dungeon, sword gleaming — and then using that very sword to finish the job yourself. \u003cem\u003eImplements of Destruction\u003c\/em\u003e hands Boss Monster players a devious new twist: slay a Hero with one of their own Items, and that Item's power becomes yours to wield. The gauntlets are on, and the rules of dungeon-building just got a little more ruthless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Brotherwise Games — the studio behind the original Boss Monster — this compact expansion adds 24 Item Cards to your dungeon-crawling arsenal. Rather than simply blocking Heroes from reaching your Boss chamber, you're now incentivised to let certain Heroes get close enough to engage, then dispatch them with style. The reward? Stealing the power of their own gear for your own nefarious ends. It's a layer of calculated risk that rewards bold, opportunistic play and keeps every turn feeling like a decision worth making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an expansion only — it requires the \u003cstrong\u003eBoss Monster base game\u003c\/strong\u003e to play, and it slots in seamlessly without disrupting the core experience. If you're already a fan of Boss Monster's retro 8-bit aesthetic and fast card-driven gameplay, \u003cem\u003eImplements of Destruction\u003c\/em\u003e is a natural addition that deepens your strategic options without adding weight to the learning curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for existing Boss Monster players who've mastered the basics and want more to think about. This is a light-to-medium expansion best suited to groups of two to four players, ages 13 and up, who enjoy competitive card games with a bit of villain-flavoured humour. It's especially rewarding for players who like to react to what their opponents and the Hero pool are doing, rather than executing a fixed plan every game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24 Item Cards are produced to match the base game's signature retro pixel-art style — visually cohesive and immediately recognisable on the table. The core mechanic of claiming a Hero's Item power is elegantly simple to teach but creates genuinely interesting decisions: do you position your dungeon to harvest certain Items, or do you stick to a consistent room-based strategy? That tension is the expansion's real selling point, and it earns its table space without bloating setup or rules overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eBrotherwise Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e2–4 (requires Boss Monster base game)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e3–4\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e13+\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e20–30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Brotherwise Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44668217458776,"sku":"BGM 016","price":8.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/a120fb9882f94385a08d8fba7e02ddf5_0.webp?v=1787858300","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/boss-monster-implements-of-destruction-expansion","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
