ABOUT WILD HUNT FESTIVAL: DANKAI SURVEY BRIGADE
Dankai Survey Brigade is a fully featured standalone expansion to the original Wild Hunt Festival game that boasts new adventurers, new bosses, a new rogue-like story-driven Dungeon Mode, new components, new art, and an all-new story. Best of all, all the content in Dankai Survey Brigade is backward compatible with the original Wild Hunt Festival as well as the upcoming Wild Hunt Festival: Anniversary Edition, providing tons of content and allowing for even more party compositions and adventures.

Dankai Survey Brigade is a JRPG-turned-board game set in the colorful world of Kradia. In the game, up to four players are tasked with forming a party of adventurers and combining their powers to defeat a series of bosses. As a cooperative fantasy-themed boss-battle game, players must synergize their abilities and employ effective combat strategies—via the utilization of items and their characters' unique job abilities—to defeat a series of bosses.

Each character in Wild Hunt Festival has an assigned role, such as attacker, healer, or defender, and an associated job, like Paladin, Geomancer, or Trobairitz. These characters possess their own combat statistics, strengths and weaknesses, as well as class-specific skills that all must be leveraged throughout each battle and in conjunction with one another to overcome the game's challenging monsters.

Dankai Survey Brigade Features

AN ALL-NEW PRESENTATION – Dankai Survey Brigade has been given a complete visual overhaul. New layouts, new and enlarged components including bigger Adventurer and Boss boards (that show off the full illustrations of each character this time), and so much more await in this beautiful glow-up of Wild Hunt Festival.
MORE CHARACTERS, CLASSES, AND CARDS – Five new characters to build your party with (two new healers, two new attackers, and one new specialist character), Ten new bosses to topple, and along with new Item cards, Ikuna cards, and more!
NEW MODE – Explore a dynamic dungeon filled with Rogue-like elements, where secrets are waiting to be discovered around every corner. Guided by the Gamebook, your choices dynamically shape the relics and encounters you uncover, leading to diverse narratives.
NEW STORY – An all-new story taking place in the Golden City of Tira, a fabled land concealed within the swirling sands of the Deadlands, located in Eastern Kradia—a part of the continent that was unexplored in the original game’s story.
