WizKids Ghosts of Saltmarsh Adventure System Expansion – D&D Co-op Board Game

Overview

WizKids presents the Ghosts of Saltmarsh expansion for the D&D Adventure System, designed to slot into your existing cooperative campaigns. This expansion adds new adventures, map tiles, monsters, traps and spells, inviting your party of up to five heroes to explore a seaside town’s evolving threats. Note that it is not a standalone game and requires one of the base Adventure System titles to play. The Premium edition includes eight pre painted miniatures to heighten on table immersion.

What’s inside

• 29 illustrated interlocking dungeon tiles that reveal fresh layouts
• 8 pre painted highly detailed miniatures in the premium set
• 1 rulebook and 1 adventure book to guide sessions
• 148 cards and 154 markers and tokens for encounters and events
• New Sahuagin minis and tokens to populate encounters

In addition to classic dungeon exploration, Ghosts of Saltmarsh introduces a town based mode with a fixed set map made from six double sized tiles. This mode centers on protecting villagers and facing coastal threats in a different tempo compared with exploring tiled dungeons. The included tokens cover monsters, traps and quest cues to keep the board vibrant without hunting additional pieces.

Gameplay and setup

• Cooperative play for 2 to 5 adventurers in a linked campaign or individual scenarios
• Characters progress through a campaign, unlocking new abilities as the story unfolds
• Mix of exploration and narrative encounters keeps sessions varied and engaging
• New monsters plus a couple of formidable villains provide fresh challenges

The expansion is designed to be compatible with your existing Adventure System base game rules. If your base game does not include gold or GP tokens, you can track gold by another simple method. The Premium edition stands out with eight pre painted minis, enhancing on table presentation and immersion for every session.
