The expansion also introduces the concept of item upgrades, allowing you to create even more powerful equipment combinations. In the new deck of cards, you'll find plenty of original monsters, such as the Hydrant or the Thousand Tentacles Demon, to make your life a little more unpleasant. On the other hand, you can gain powerful allies, like the Shoulder Dragon, or arm yourself with crazy weapons like the Slug Thrower or the Incredible Axe itself. There are also new curses and other surprises to add even more chaos and fun to the game. A special feature is the four blank cards on which you can create your own crazy ideas and customize the game to your liking.
