About the game

What you do in a play session

This little gem adds a bunch of new goodies to make the game even richer: 7 faction strategy cards, 1 ship card, 2 event cards, and 1 mission card. And of course, it comes with its own faction sheet, player board, a linen bag, extra resource and success tokens, faction-specific action tokens, and wooden components to complete the package.

With this expansion, replayability gets a boost! You'll have new ways to play and face challenges, whether you're playing solo or with friends. Everything is designed to integrate seamlessly with the base game, adding depth without overcomplicating things. If you've already enjoyed "Isles of Terror," this is the perfect way to expand your adventures and tactics in this dangerous world. Get ready for new strategies and twists!
