About the game
Get ready to return to the Roanoke colony, but this time with an extra dose of danger and mystery! In Pagan: Expeditions, the settlement's survival hangs by a thread. Beyond the palisades, the wilderness hides as many riches as it does dark threats. Strange sounds echo near the river's whirlpools, sinister totems appear at the forest's edge, and to make matters worse, some villagers have simply disappeared. Crops are dying, livestock is falling ill, and supplies are dwindling, leaving the Crown increasingly displeased.

Is the witchcraft plaguing the colony merely a manifestation of a darker force coming from outside? Or will the colonists manage to reap the fruits of this promised land, uncovering the hidden horrors lurking on expeditions? This game expands the Pagan: Fate of Roanoke experience, bringing new mechanics and challenges for those who have already mastered the base game. With a focus on two players, you'll need to use every action point wisely, strategically build your deck, and perhaps even bluff a little to come out on top. Hand management will be crucial for executing your moves at the right time, while area influence on the map can secure decisive advantages. Each player has unique powers, adding an extra layer of strategy and replayability. If you enjoy games with deduction, adventure, and a touch of dark fantasy, this expansion promises to spice up your game nights.
