What this is
Mummies, Mudmen and more. They battle it out with new maps, new races, and new powers. Each player will control several creature/power combinations over the course of the game – spending points to draft these combinations – and will use those creatures to claim control of various subterranean locations. At the end of each turn, a player scores points for the regions he holds, and the player with the most points at game end wins.
