Do you like Sparkly Rocks? Do you like striking it RICH? Do you like competing with other people of a similar-yet-fashionably-distinct-from-yours profession?! In Kobolds: Second Expedition, you can have all this and more! Interview your candidates, Hire your perfect kobolds, and then Bolster your defenses with drafted or constructed decks of adorably designed critters that are all ferocious miners in their own right! Get to know each one's strength and weaknesses, and form your own power-packed elite team of kobolds all after the same thing; shiny, glorious "Glintys"!

Alright. You've hired only the finest, most capable creatures. You've founded the best possible team known to koboldkind. Now what? It's time to take the fight to the Twisty Caverns! In the enormous mine that runs throughout the underground of Mischivaa, you will deploy squads of kobolds to capture those beautiful, precious glintyshines. Or glintys for short! (Kobolds aren't known for their English-speaking skills.) Remember, each employee is totally different, but there's no "i" in "Kobold!" Figure out what teams are killer combos, coordinate cool interactions, and synergize your way to victory!

No matter how you slice it, (or spell it), glintys make the world go 'round. Spend them to hire more kobolds for your team, paying your employees to make use of their powerful and unique abilities, or even maneuver around some debt you might've accumulated in the process! Just remember to keep enough so you WIN! Kobolds that mine are good at mining are typically pretty different from the ones that fight. Keeping a vanguard to protect your node, trying to get more glintys all in one go, or striking a balance between the two! This choice -- and more -- are up to you, boss!

At the end of the day, all kobolds can agree on one thing.... That cartoon-style violence is inevitable!! At some point or another, you will need to defend yourself from another player's raid on your precious mining spot; or perhaps you'll have your eye on another player's node that you just have to have! Regardless of who started it, battle will ensue, and you need to be ready with your tools at hand! Utilize reinforcements in a clever game of wit, and outmaneuver your opponents to dominate the mine!
