About the game

What you do in a play session

You know that feeling when you think peace has finally arrived? Well, in Andor, that never lasts. After years of tranquility, the heroes are summoned for an urgent mission in Far Hadria, way up in the North. The catch? The journey is perilous, taking place aboard an old sailing ship where the group must face not only hungry sea monsters but also the raw fury of nature, with violent storms that can flip any plan upside down.

Journey to the North isn't just a small add-on; it's the first major expansion for the franchise and brings a drastic change of scenery. Forget the forests for a while and get ready to navigate unknown islands and protect the northern coasts. The game maintains the cooperative essence and the tension of time management but adds new layers of strategy with an expanded map and new legends that challenge the group's coordination.

If you already enjoy the dynamic of planning every single step to prevent time from running out, you'll love how this expansion broadens the universe. The interaction between characters remains a highlight, with each special ability being crucial for surviving the ocean's perils. It's the kind of experience that transforms the gaming table into a true epic campaign, where victory depends entirely on the group's synergy.

Just remember: you'll need a lot of luck with the dice and a solid plan, because the Northern Sea is unforgiving. Hoist the sails, call your crew, and set off on the adventure! It's time to see if your team has what it takes to survive the frozen reaches of the world.
