Cadwallon: City of Thieves - The King of Ashes Expansion

Thunder splits the sky as dark clouds gather above the free city of Cadwallon. The ground trembles, towers sway, and an earthquake of unprecedented violence wracks the City of Thieves! In the midst of the crisis, as bystanders flee the filthy streets, an entrance opens to a series of long-forgotten catacombs.

The guild intrigues of Cadwallon: City of Thieves grow even richer with the treasure trove of new adventures, characters, equipment, and Arcana in The King of Ashes expansion!

Rumors claim the newly-opened catacombs contain the legendary treasure of Sophet Drahas, and the thieves of the city above race to find entrance to these long-hidden catacombs and grab their riches. King of Ashes explores these catacombs with a new board and six adventures that can play independently or combined into a larger campaign.

Revised rules make the militia a more imposing force, and rules for experience, equipment, and mercenaries afford tremendous strategic options in your games, especially when you play them as part of a larger campaign.

Cadwallon: City of Thieves – The King of Ashes includes the following components:

1 catacombs board
3 double-sided adventure sheets
9 character cards
4 game aid cards
1 Cyclops of Mid-Nor figure
4 mercenary figures
84 Arcana, equipment, and intrigue cards
83 game tokens



I dont know if it is the same size as the original (I doubt it) but I found it interesting

Has an interesting mini from rackham FFG $40 for a plastic one and a game expansion. Not sure how both companies were able to get the production rights to the fig. Though the plastic may be a bit limp :/

Has anyone ever played Citiy of Thieves? How is it? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450256/4294270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450256/4294270.page GMT FFG:Cadwallon City of Thieves The King of Ashes Expansion.

Trouble is, we don't really know how big that Cyclops is. Without some sort of scale reference, it is a crap shoot. It could either be a little bit smaller, like the Cities of Thieves figures were, or a lot smaller if it is intended to be used on the original board sections and fit in some of the rooms and alleys. Either way, there is a good chance that this Cyclops will come up a bit... short.

A: Easy, both companies had the money and contacts to secure a license to produce a version of the figure. Depending on the details of those licenses, that could mean that each company had the rights to produce 'their' version of the figure, i.e., they couldn't make a straight copy of the original. Legacy/CMoN full-size in plastic-resin and FFG smaller scale in gaming plastic.

City of Thieves is great fun. Unless someone in the group has played before, expect to get a few things wrong in the first game or two, but that just leads to more fun and back-stabbing due to previous games. Also, the game is FAR more enjoyable with all four players, so that can be a neat trick. But the scenarios are a hoot, especially when the alarm has gone off and most sane people would be more concerned about leaving before the gates close, so instead, all the gangs jump on each other. Gangs with little loot trying to steal it from the more flush gangs, and the rich gangs beating on the poor gangs to slow them down and leave them stuck behind the gates. Ah, good times...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450256/4294903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/450256/4294903.page GMT
