About the game

What you do in a play session

If you have already scaled every titan in Leviathan Wilds and feel like your climbers are becoming a bit too comfortable with the giant beasts, the Mutation Pack is exactly the dose of chaos your table needs. Forget the feeling that you know exactly how each monster will behave; here, the game completely shifts gears. This small expansion adds 27 new cards that act as modifiers, altering the behavior and abilities of the leviathans you already know. It is as if the monsters underwent an unexpected genetic upgrade, forcing you and your group to rethink every single move, jump, and survival strategy while mid-climb. The beauty of this expansion is its versatility: since these cards can be applied to any leviathan, the replayability goes through the roof. You can take a monster you had already mastered and, with a simple deck of mutations, turn it into a completely different nightmare. It is the type of expansion that doesn't change the core rules or add unnecessary complexity that makes you forget how to play, but it injects that extra spice that keeps the tension high throughout the session. If you enjoy a constant challenge and want to feel like your climbers are always in real danger, these cards are a must-have. The setup remains quick and the game's flow is preserved, but the unpredictability increases drastically. It is perfect for those who love adapting tactics on the fly and don't want the game to fall into a repetitive routine. Get ready to see your plans fall apart when an unexpected mutation changes the terrain beneath your feet. It’s a refreshed challenge that keeps the essence of the original game while adding that touch of malice we love to find in high-tension cooperative games. If you are a fan of Leviathan Wilds, this pack is a solid investment to breathe new life into your game nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
Does the Mutation Pack change the rules significantly?
Not at all! The core rules remain the same. The cards simply add modifiers to how the leviathans behave.
Can I use these cards with any leviathan?
Yes, that's the best part! The cards are designed to be compatible with all leviathans from the base game.
Does the playtime increase with this expansion?
It doesn't change the playtime. Setup remains fast and matches still last between 45 and 90 minutes.
Do I need the base game to play?
Absolutely. This is an expansion and does not function as a standalone game.
Does it make the game much harder?
It adds an extra layer of unpredictability that can make climbs more challenging, especially if you draw more aggressive mutations.
