About the game

What you do in a play session

Barrage: Executive Officer Promo A is an expansion that adds two executive officers originally offered in the Kickstarter exclusive pack. The officers — Elon Audia, equipped with eight purple wooden Excamixers, and Gennaro Grasso — broaden the strategic toolbox of the base game. Each officer grants unique powers that alter how you gather resources, build water networks, and generate power. Action drafting lets players pick from a pool of action cards, creating fast‑paced decisions that affect everyone’s turn order. The core Barrage mechanics stay intact: route building, income management, and end‑game bonuses that reward well‑executed plans. Variable set‑up means the board layout changes each play, boosting replay value. While the expansion doesn’t bring many new physical components beyond the officers and Excamixers, it deepens tactical options, especially for veterans of the base game. The weight is light‑to‑moderate, fitting nicely into 60‑120 minute sessions for 1‑4 players. If you love the blend of economic planning and environmental challenges in Barrage, these officers will make each game feel fresher and more decision‑heavy.
