About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready to supercharge your Barrage experience? This expansion brings the thrill of a fifth player to the table, meaning more competition for resources, more dams being built, and of course, more hydroelectric chaos! With a brand-new map and more basins and springs to explore, the competition gets even fiercer. You'll need the base Barrage game and, pay attention!, the orange player set and fifth company board from The Leeghwater Project expansion to enjoy this new addition. The expansion adds a management board with extra actions, an overlay for the turn order track, and a new set of contracts to keep things spicy. If you've already mastered Barrage and crave more strategic challenges, this is the perfect pick. Get ready to optimize every move and ensure your power plant is the most potent!

What other components do I need to play with 5 players?
To play with 5 players, in addition to this expansion, you also need the orange player set and the fifth company board from the Barrage: The Leeghwater Project expansion.
Does the expansion change the game rules significantly?
It adds a new map, a management board with extra actions, and a turn order marker, plus new contracts. This intensifies competition and adds more strategic options, but the core of Barrage remains.
