About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to spice up your Hadrian's Wall experience? The New Fates expansion is here to shake things up, introducing 12 new Fate Cards that will mess with your wall. Some of these cards will have the Picts attacking with full force, targeting two cohorts at once, while others offer a breather, making defense a bit easier. But watch out for Favors! If you try to use a Favor to escape a double Pict attack, remember that a single Favor can only negate one of those attacks. To get rid of both, you'll need two Favors. This expansion adds an extra layer of unpredictability and tactical challenge, while keeping the core resource management and building essence of the base game. It's perfect for those who already enjoy the game and want more variety in their sessions, especially if you're a fan of the solo mode and crave an even bigger challenge. Get your pencils and sheets ready, because the wall needs you!
