About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to return to the frigid Siberian Tundra in Expeditions: Gears of Corruption! If previous expeditions were already tense, things have now escalated. The corruption that once affected animals and people has evolved into a colossal mechanical threat haunting Tunguska. But fear not, as new heroes, better prepared and with new mechs at their disposal, are ready to face this challenge. This expansion injects an extra dose of danger and excitement, introducing secret bonuses on map tokens and a fearsome corrupted mech that patrols the land. To handle this new threat, you'll have 2 new mechs and 4 brand-new hero and companion pairs at your disposal. And if you enjoy playing with more people, the good news is that Expeditions can now accommodate up to 6 players! To make the start of your journey even more dynamic, Gears of Corruption offers starting resources and a special worker that can adapt to any role. It's a chance to explore Tunguska with a fresh perspective, but with the certainty that every step might bring new surprises and challenges. Watch out for hidden bonuses and the wandering mech!
