The set comes in a brand‑new box with removable trays and an insert to keep everything tidy—perfect for collectors who love a pristine shelf. With 18 35‑mm miniatures of characters, animals, and creatures, an “Open & Play” tutorial to help newcomers master the base rules, 30 new adventure cards, 10 event cards, and 3 weather tiles, the expansion adds a ton of variety to the already rich survival experience. For those who love customization, there’s an 8‑piece modular camp model, a dice tower, a round tracker, a first‑player marker, and companion minis of horse, parrot, and cat—all designed to deepen the cooperative feel in 1‑4 players. If you’re into survival challenges, narrative choices, and the feeling of truly being stranded on an island, this upgrade is the missing piece to turn your campaign into something unforgettable. Gameplay remains the same as the base: each turn you place workers, queue actions, and resolve event cards while keeping health, morale, and resources in check. The new miniatures and cards add complexity and fresh twists, but keep the core cooperative strategy that fans love. In short, if you want more variety, high‑quality components, and an even more immersive experience, this pack is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. ## FAQ ### How long does a game last with this expansion?
