About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy the tension and espionage of World War II in Black Orchestra, get ready for more! The Conspirator Pack #1 brings back the three conspirators from the first edition, but with extra polish for the new version. And there's more: a brand new fourth conspirator joins the crew to increase the challenge and fun.

With this pack, you add characters like Fabian Von Schlabrendorff, a high-ranking Wehrmacht officer; Hjalmar Schacht, a civilian who once presided over the Reichsbank; and Hans Gisevius, a double agent with connections in the Abwehr and diplomatic circles. To complete the quartet, Sophie Scholl, the student activist, enters the scene, bringing a new dynamic to your secret missions.

These new conspirators aren't just pretty faces; they come with unique abilities that change the game. Hand management and dice rolling remain crucial, but now you have more strategic options for planning your point-to-point movements and perhaps even pushing your luck a bit more to get what you need. Whether it's gathering intelligence or executing a daring plan, each conspirator offers a different way to approach the game's challenges.

It's the perfect addition for those who want to expand the possibilities of Black Orchestra, adding more variety and replayability. If you've already enjoyed the base game and want more characters with distinct powers to explore, this pack is a significant upgrade. Prepare your plans, sharpen your strategies, and see if you can change the course of history!
