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. ## How to Play Game Objective RELOAD: Rumble is an expansion that adds the Elimination mode to the base RELOAD game, allowing matches with 5 or 6 players. Players control characters in dynamic combat where the goal is to eliminate opponents and collect Fame tokens. The match ends when a player can no longer select a new character from their roster after suffering a RELOAD. Setup Required Components Character miniatures and their boards Fame tokens (Feats, Beacon, CROWN) Character Reference and Action cards Black action dice Trap and Wall tokens Step-by-Step Randomly distribute at least 2 Character Reference cards per player (or more, keeping equal quantities). Each player selects 1 starting character from their roster and prepares components according to the character card. In Team Royale mode, teams share the character roster. Prepare the Event deck according to player count (e.g., 5 players = 2 Supply Drops + 18 random events). Place initial tokens on hexes according to type (Beacon on nature hexes, Supply Crates on villages). Refer to the manual for advanced character selection setups. Game Flow The game follows clockwise turn order. Each player takes actions with their active character until forced to RELOAD (when eliminated). In this case: The player who dealt the final blow gains the RELOAD Fame token and the eliminated character's ID token. The eliminated player discards equipment and returns Beacon tokens to the board. Selects a new character from their roster (or team roster) and receives 2 equipment cards of 2-star quality (keeps 1, discards the other). The match ends when a player cannot replace their character after RELOAD, concluding at the end of the current round. Actions and How to Play Basic Actions RUN: Move to adjacent hex or between portals (does not cross neutral/enemy walls). ACTIVATE: Resolve current hex's ability. LOOT: On current hex, open 1 Supply Crate OR collect 1 Beacon/CROWN token. RANGED COMBAT: Assign die to weapon and attack player within range. MELEE COMBAT: Attack player on same hex (ends turn after resolving). In Battle Royale mode, use the board side with Self-Heal; in Team Royale, use the side without Self-Heal. End Game and Scoring The game ends when a player cannot replace their character after RELOAD. Scoring: Collected Fame tokens (Beacon, CROWN, Feats). RELOAD Fame tokens earned by eliminating opponents. In Team Royale mode, the team with most Fame wins. Winning Tips In Elimination mode, prioritize eliminating opponents to gain RELOAD Fame tokens and reduce their character options. On maps with many nature hexes, focus on collecting Beacon tokens for passive scoring. Refer to the manual for character-specific strategies. ## FAQ ### How many players does the expansion support?
