What are Camp Buildings?
Camp buildings are structures that you can place on the campsite of your Hero. These structures unlock new cards and classes. The resources you get every expedition are usually used to improve your camp and in return, the buildings unlock more cards and abilities for your hero. The camp is also an essential part of the loop and you should always retreat to your camp before you die.
