The wait is over! We’re are proud to announce the upcoming DLC for Reiner Knizia’s the Confrontation. The release will feature new achievements, new art, and an entirely new way to play: Variant Mode.
Variant Mode
The Variant Mode features 18 all new characters and 4 new special cards. The power level of both sides has equalized, with slightly stronger Light characters and more tactical Shadow minions. As Light, your goal is to guide the crown (King) to the Stronghold. As Shadow, your goal remains largely unchanged, seek out and destroy the crown or lay siege to the Capital with three denizens of Shadow. Variant mode introduces another way for Shadow to win – guide the Doombringer to the Capital.
The new characters introduce an entirely different game, requiring new strategies to be discovered in order to overcome your opponent. Will you guide the Light to fulfill its quest, or bring doom upon the world with Shadow?
