Thunderstone returns with all new monsters, heroes, equipment, and now... traps! Thunderstone brought dungeon crawling to the deck-building game genre, and the Wrath of the Elements Expansion takes Thunderstone to a new level. With four new heroes, six new monsters, and many new village cards, Wrath of the Elements can be stand alone or mixed in with classic Thunderstone for a larger experience. Wrath of the Elements also introduces Traps. This new card type creates perlious dangers for your adventuring party when revealed from the Dungeon Deck. Can you overcome the new monstrosities and claim the Thunderstone?
The Thunderstone Wrath of the Elements Expansion also features an attractive and durable card box large enough to hold both Wrath of the Elements and classic Thunderstone, and is even more compact and easy to transport! The box also comes with all new labelled card-type dividers for both the new cards and classic Thunderstone cards. Jason Engle returns again with more amazing art as well.
Wrath of Elements Expansion
Upon a dark and towering crag, the ancient stronghold of Dreadwatch Keep broods with quiet menace. For centuries, the second Thunderstone has reposed at its lightless heart. With
the shattering of Grimhold Dungeon and the capture of its Thunderstone, the scattered minions of Doom seek a new sanctuary. Shielded from would-be heroes by uncountable traps, they gather in the black heart of Dreadwatch like blight collects on grain. But lured by the siren call of the Keep’s Thunderstone, the champions of good pursue the minions of darkness. Desperate to
escape, the evil minions call upon one of the most powerful of Doom’s agents: the Guardian of Dreadwatch Keep! Can your band of heroes overcome the monstrous denizens of Dreadwatch? Will you fall prey to the deadly traps and snares that have protected the Thunderstone for centuries? Or will the terrible Guardian break through to ravage the countryside?

Trap Cards for the Wrath of the Elements Expansion
Often, the greatest challenges that your Heroes will face won’t be the Monsters in the Dungeon Hall. Fiendish and deadly Traps lay hidden, waiting to ensnare the unwary!
Trap cards are added to the Dungeon Deck in much the same way as Monster cards. All Trap cards list “Trap” in the Trait bar in the middle of the card. There are currently two types of Trap cards: Dire Traps and Death Traps. Dire Traps can inflict penalties on the players, while Death Traps can kill your Heroes.
Unlike Monsters, Traps have an effect the moment they are revealed (just before Breach Effects during the Dungeonturn order). If you turn over a Trap card while refilling the Dungeon Hall (because a Monster left), you must immediately follow the instructions printed on the card. Some Traps affect all players, while others affect only the player who revealed them. Remember to refill the Dungeon Hall before you draw cards at the end of your turn.
Normally, a Trap card is destroyed after you resolve its Effects. Some Traps (such as The Cage) remain in play after its immediate Effects are resolved. Always refill the Dungeon
Hall after destroying a Trap, or when a Trap card instructs you to do so. If you reveal another Trap, resolve it immediately. Continue turning and resolving cards until only Monsters (and/or Thunderstones) remain in the Dungeon Hall.
