Eterna is no pushover: she unleashes game-altering effects, devastating area attacks, and builds structures that block your path, requiring you to destroy them to advance.

It's perfect for those who enjoy tactical grid-based combat in a sci-fi setting, where every decision matters. Unique player abilities and smart hand management are crucial to overcoming Eterna's challenges. The expansion is ideal for 1-4 players looking for an extra dose of challenge and replayability, especially if they already enjoy the Battlecrest universe. As a "print & play" game, you get quick access to this extra content and can dive right into the action. The complexity is moderate, making it accessible yet rewarding for those seeking a good challenge. ## FAQ ### How many players can participate in this expansion?
