About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for the adrenaline rush! "6: Siege – Dead End" is that expansion that supercharges the base game, bringing two new, super tense maps: Oregon and Chalet. If you're into the tactical and frenetic vibe of Rainbow Six: Siege, you'll go wild here. The gameplay is real-time, simulating the pressure of a real assault where every second counts. You choose your team of 5 operators, each with their unique tricks and gadgets. Assembling this team is one of the highlights, with tons of possible strategic combinations. As the attacker, the goal is to blast your way through at any cost, blowing up walls and obstacles to reach the objective. As the defender, the idea is to turn the map into a fortress, anticipating and thwarting enemy plans. Oregon is more open, with long hallways that favor agile operators and those who like to plan long-range plays – watch out for snipers! Chalet is more claustrophobic and vertical, where no place is 100% safe and tactical movement is crucial for survival. This expansion adds more maps and challenges, maintaining the asymmetric and action-packed experience of the original game. It's for those seeking the tension of modern combat and the thrill of a video game on the tabletop. The need for card and component translation is moderate, so prepare a spreadsheet or translate the cards to keep up with the frantic pace!
