Read the full game description
Shadows of Brimstone: Valley of the Serpent Kings is a standalone cooperative Adventure Set in Flying Frog’s campaign dungeon-crawl system. One to four players guide conquistador heroes through modular Spanish-fort ruins and the hostile Valley of the Serpent Kings, revealing tiles, resolving story encounters, fighting miniatures on a grid, and gathering equipment that follows the party between missions. Dice-driven combat is approachable, but asymmetric hero abilities, tactical positioning, and a long campaign arc give the adventure substantial depth.
