About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are a Barrage fan looking to take your table experience to the next level, this box is the definitive upgrade. Forget the standard components; here, the visual and tactile immersion is taken seriously with an Art Deco aesthetic that will leave anyone impressed. The kit includes metal coins that provide a satisfying weight when handling game currency, accompanied by a black embroidered drawstring pouch that is pure class. But the real showstopper is undoubtedly the 3D map. With 4mm-thick magnetic pieces, the board gains a three-dimensionality that makes it much easier to visualize your constructions and the water flow, while looking absolutely stunning. Beyond the physical components, this package includes the 'Executive Officer Promo A', which adds an extra layer of strategy and variability to your starting powers. It is the kind of material that doesn't change the fundamental rules of the game, but transforms the perception of the match, making every round of dam building and turbine management a much more premium event. If you play Barrage frequently, it's hard to ignore the quality boost this set offers. It's not just about having pretty components; it's about how the clarity of the 3D map helps with game reading during fierce energy disputes. It is a collector's item that truly justifies the shelf space.
