About the game
Reload: Rumble arrives as the first official expansion for Reload, delivering everything needed to turn a 2‑4 player game into an epic 5‑ or 6‑player showdown. In addition to extra miniatures, tokens, and custom dice, the box adds four brand‑new characters—Butcher, Betty Boom, Emmet, and Sora—each with unique abilities that broaden strategic options. The headline features are the brand‑new game modes: 2v2v2 Team Royale, where three teams battle simultaneously, and Elimination, which gradually removes players and ratchets up the tension. Rules for scaling the existing modes to five and six players are also included, ensuring a smooth transition. Altogether you get 73 tokens, 10 custom action dice, 4 character reference cards, 4 miniatures, 4 fame‑track sets, 2 action reference cards, a map book, and a rulebook. The light weight (2/5) and roughly 75‑minute playtime keep the experience approachable, while the moderate complexity calls for careful reading of the new rules and a translated spreadsheet if you play in Portuguese. In short, Rumble expands Reload’s universe without sacrificing flow, adding more players, fresh strategies, and modes that boost replay value.
