Adventures in Hyboria, the expansion for Age of Conan Strategy Boardgame

Adventures in Hyboria is the first expansion of Age of Conan Strategy Board Game since its launch in 2009, designed to improve and expand the role of Conan in the game. It adds a new dimension to Conan's adventures: his stature grows from warrior and thief, to general, and finally, king. His abilities grow as well, making his presence in the game more visceral and more important.

Age of Conan Strategy Board Game is back on the shelves, after being unavailable for more than one year. After acquiring the license to publish the game, Ares Games acquired all the remaining inventory from Fantasy Flight Games, and the version of the game distributed now is the First Edition originally published in the US by FFG. Age of Conan Strategy Board Game pits the four most important Hyborian Kingdoms - Aquilonia, Turan, Stygia and Hyperborea - in a fight for supremacy involving war, intrigue and sorcery. Conan, the barbarian hero created by R.E. Howard, is a powerful presence, but he's very hard to control. He may help or hinder your plans, while pursuing his own adventures to conquer treasure, women, and glory.
