Elzra Games has moved away from a strictly exclusive model for promos and Kickstarter items and here we see some of the results of these releases like the Shadowlithe Fist ability for the Thief and the Teleport Chicken ability for the Chicken Hero. Adding to the group are two new template-centric options, one ability for the Skeleton Hero and the other is an item that the Dwarf Miner can start with. \u00a0Both are really interesting options for these lower tier heroes, especially the Dwarf Miner&#8217;s Rune Axe as it is a permanent item that allows him to use the ability all the time. \u00a0Quite a boon for a hero I put at the back of the pack in my <a href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/geeklist\/206912\/item\/4537824\">strategy guides<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2540\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06-198x149.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-06.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here we have an example of Hyba, one of the new heroes, riding one of the Wyverns, the Wylamander. \u00a0The card abilities for the Wyverns are divided into three sections starting with the upper left ability section. \u00a0This section is the same for all the Wyverns in that it allows the hero to perform a melee shot with the Wyvern followed by the new &#8220;Wyvern Strike&#8221; shot. \u00a0The Wyvern Strike acts like a Rush shot but if you strike an opponent disc, you gain a Wyvern Claw token. \u00a0These tokens can later be spent to activate one of the other Wyvern abilities. \u00a0In the example above, Hyba spent one claw to use the Wylamander&#8217;s second ability, placing the ring template and hitting two Succubus monsters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2539\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05-198x149.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-05.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later in the game, Hyba has earned more Wyvern Claws and spends them on the Wylamander&#8217;s third ability, using the spread template to hit more Succubus monsters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2535\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01-198x149.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Catacombs-Wyvern-01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this last example, we look at one of the coolest items, the Wyvern Familiar. \u00a0This little guy looks like a ton of fun as he&#8217;s permanent, like all familiars, but if you look at his life, he has &#8220;-&#8221; like Antients and the new Wyverns which means he is invulnerable to damage. \u00a0An unkillable familiar seems very interesting but his only way to deal damage is through the short template. \u00a0This will make for a very challenging attack as you will want to get close to a monster to use the short template but with a bit of finesse since if you hit too hard, you risk knocking your target out of range.<\/p>\n<p>As is likely no surprise, I&#8217;m really excited about this expansion and all the new options it brings. \u00a0The template powers bring a bit more finesse to the game as power flicking discs will generally be less effective than subtle shots that put you in perfect template range.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure when this expansion hits the full release or Kickstarter but Elzra Games is currently running a quick Kickstarter Campaign for another game in the Catacombs series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/elzra\/catacombs-conquest\/description\">Catacombs Conquest<\/a>. \u00a0Conquest is a light, quick, card-driven version of the game meant for new players and quick, open-table play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a nice surprise in the mail the other day, an advanced copy of the next Catacombs expansion, Wyverns of Wylemuir. \u00a0I helped Elzra Games proofread the manual and components and as a fantastic thank you gesture, they sent me my copy early.
