Chronicles of Drunagor Expansions Review and Buyer Guide

boardgamequest.com:

Expansions and add on content are a key part of crowdfunding campaigns. It’s a way for backers to unlock more stretch goals by driving their pledges up. The risk for the backers is getting a ton of content for a mediocre game but many times, it’s the only way to get some content.

I think Chronicles of Drunagor is fantastic so here’s a breakdown of the add ons available on Gamefound for both the original campaign as well as speculation on the new content coming with the Age of Apocalypse expansion.

My personal bias for add ons is I prioritize new content but am also a sucker for game-enhancing bling. A secondary consideration I have to keep in mind is physical volume. Chronicles of Drunagor is a massive game that can easily have you squirreling boxes away in whatever nook and cranny fits them.

Creative Game Studios generously provided copies of two adventure packs, the dungeon creation kit, Player Game Trayz, Spoils of War, Desert of Helscar, and Rise of the Undead Dragon along with the Age of Darkness core box to Board Game Quest.

Expansions that add gameplay hours are, to me, where the best value lies. The Ruins of Luccanor and the Shadow World adventure packs add side quests to play during the main campaign as well as two new monster types per pack to add more variety and replay value. These side quests are called out at specific points during the main campaign (I haven’t gotten to the Shadow World adventures yet). The Ruins of Luccanor adventures were engaging and had filled in some story that would’ve otherwise been glossed over in the campaign. The darkness corrupted nautical enemies and dark maritime provided a creepy atmosphere for the duration of the adventure. It was fantastic.
