Dungeons & Dragons: Ghosts of Saltmarsh Board Game Expansion – Standard Edition

About this product

Danger is rising along the coast of Saltmarsh, and new adventures await those brave enough to answer the call.

A cooperative Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System board game expansion for 1–5 players, featuring new scenarios, miniatures, dungeon tiles and campaign challenges.

Gather your favourite heroes, face dangerous monsters and uncover fresh challenges in a new campaign that builds on your existing Adventure System board game.

Important: This is an expansion, not a standalone game. An existing Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System base board game is required to play.

Product Description

In Dungeons & Dragons: Ghosts of Saltmarsh, the peaceful coastal village of Saltmarsh is threatened by dangerous creatures and growing unrest. The King of Keoland hopes to develop the village into an important port, but not everyone welcomes his plans, and new enemies threaten the region.

This Standard Edition expansion introduces fresh adventures to the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System cooperative board game series. Play solo or join a team of up to five adventurers as you explore treacherous dungeons, overcome deadly traps, battle monsters and develop your heroes through a connected campaign.

Alongside the familiar dungeon exploration system, Ghosts of Saltmarsh introduces adventures set within the town itself. A fixed map built from six double-sized tiles creates a different type of challenge, where heroes must protect villagers and respond to threats through a new Adventure deck.

The expansion also introduces eight detailed, single-colour Sahuagin miniatures, including two powerful villains, together with new cards, dungeon tiles and tokens to expand your adventures.

Experience the complete campaign or choose individual scenarios to play with your existing Adventure System base game.
