About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to supercharge your Barrage experience with the Legendary Box! This beauty combines the base game with the Far Companies Expansion, introducing two new companies to shake up the board. Each of them brings unique quirks that will alter your gameplay. The Japanese company, for instance, focuses on earth-fill dams that increase the number of possible constructions, albeit with height and capacity limitations. Instead of concrete mixers, you'll be using excavators for elevations. The Brazilian company, on the other hand, is the queen of versatility: you can build bases, elevations, and conduits in any order you choose, gaining stronger bonuses but risking the permanent loss of machinery. Both unlock special abilities when you build the third powerhouse. The Legendary Box was also sold separately, focusing solely on organizational inserts, but the complete version is what delivers this explosion of novelties and challenges. If you enjoy a complex game with deep strategy that pushes you to think outside the box, Barrage and its expansions are a perfect fit. Resource management, network building, and tough decision-making are at the heart of this experience, which is now even richer with these new companies.
