About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to power up your Planet Apocalypse experience? This box, 'The Power Pack', is essentially the treasure chest packed with all the goodies Kickstarter backers unlocked. Check out what's inside: new maps to send demons packing in locations like Japan, Israel, and Australia, plus a special map for the final battle in Purgatory. For those who love the action, we've got heroes like Doc Hunter and Cissy Salem, and heavy-hitting villains like Bellatrix, Tardigrade, and Philter. And the Lords? Lord Geryon and Argus are here to cause trouble. Oh, and don't forget the cards: two Legion cards (Annwn and Sheol) for that tactical touch, ten Gift cards with powerful buffs (Rapid Fire, Sergeant, Registered Nurse, and Spear of the Spirit), and over 30 Trooper cards to reinforce your army. The coolest part? There's a crossover that makes Planet Apocalypse miniatures compatible with Cthulhu Wars. This is for those who already love the base game and want more variety, more challenges, and more options to save the world (or not!). Language might be a hurdle, but with some translated aids, the fun is guaranteed. It's for those seeking an intense cooperative experience, with dice rolling and a touch of RPG to dive headfirst into this demonic apocalypse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Planet Apocalypse game to play?
Yes, absolutely! The Power Pack is an expansion, and all the additional components and rules depend on the base game to be used.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is for 1 to 5 players. The cooperative experience works well at all player counts.
What are the 'Stretch Goals' mentioned?
Stretch Goals are extra objectives that game creators promise to add if their crowdfunding campaign (like on Kickstarter) reaches certain funding milestones. This box contains all of them!
Are the new miniatures compatible with other games?
Yes! One of the major advantages is that the Planet Apocalypse miniatures become compatible with Cthulhu Wars, thanks to an official crossover.
Does the game get harder with this expansion?
The expansion adds more variety of enemies and challenges, as well as new options for the players. The difficulty might increase depending on your choices and how you combine the new elements.
Do I need to translate anything to play in English?
The game has a moderate language dependency. It's recommended to have a spreadsheet with translated card text or print translated cards to facilitate gameplay.
