This popular game just released its sixth full-sized expansion, "Faithful Friends," published by Hidden Achievement and developed by Evil Hat Productions. Based on Jim Butcher's acclaimed book series (the first book debuted in 2000, with 17 books now in the series), "Faithful Friends" delves into the storylines of books 16 and 17, "Peace Talks" and "Battle Ground," introducing corresponding new card decks.
