About the game
Burncycle: The Specialists is an expansion that adds four new specialized bots to the base game's team. Each one has unique abilities that can turn the tide: a nimble acrobat, a getaway expert, a master procurer, and a tactician who creates diversions. With new components like chips, awareness tokens, and PVC character cards, this expansion adds more depth and variety to the missions. If you already enjoy the base game, this expansion is a must-have for those who want more tactical options and challenges. The cooperative mechanics remain strong, and the new bots bring fresh strategies to tackle mission obstacles. Just keep in mind: as an expansion, you'll need the original game to play.
