## Description
Bundle up and brace yourself, because the temperature has plummeted! The Coldsnap expansion brings cold-blooded chaos to the G.I. Joe universe, forcing the team to face threats that would freeze anyone's blood. The mission is urgent: you and your teammates must take down Destro and his terrifying weather dominator device before the entire world turns into a giant popsicle. But the frost is only the beginning; shortly after, Zartan and his Dreadnok gang arrive to sow chaos and drive the world into madness.

To survive this hostile environment, the expansion introduces 'Towable Assets'. The Joes' arsenal now includes heavy artillery and specialized armaments that can be linked together to combat chilling new threats like Snowblind cards and the dreaded Snow Serpents. Beyond the new gear, the game adds snow terrain and specific vehicles, which shift the movement dynamics and create tactical obstacles that require total team coordination.

The package includes two brand-new story missions, focusing on the Weather Dominator and the Dreadnoks, expanding the base game's campaign with fresh challenges and narratives. It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and strategy for those who already enjoy the original game's deck-building system and want to crank up the difficulty. Remember: this is an expansion, so you absolutely need the original G.I. Joe Deck-Building Game to play. If you love tactical cooperation and feeling the pressure of time (and the cold), Coldsnap is the ideal upgrade for your collection.
