Alderac Entertainment Group has two expansions for its card and board games coming out later this year. The venerable Legend of the Five Rings CCG sees another expansion for the Celestial Edition of the game, The Harbinger, while the Tomb board game will receive a stand-alone expansion that can be added to the original Tomb game or played by itself.

The Harbinger is a 157-card expansion set for Legend of the Five Rings that continues the Celestial Edition storyline of a foreign invasion of the Emerald Empire. The set releases in December and comes in 84-card starter decks ($12.99 US MSRP each) and 15-card booster packs ($3.69 US each).

Cryptmaster, the first expansion for AEG’s Tomb board game of dungeon adventure, adds two boards (one designed for normal or player vs. player action and one for advanced play), 80 characters, and 400 cards to the Tomb experience. The standalone expansion can also be added to the basic Tomb release and includes a revised rulebook, containing several new rules and variants, such as henchmen and curses. Tomb: Cryptmaster arrives in September with an MSRP of $59.95 US.
