About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition, get ready for more action! The Rook City Renegades expansion injects an extra dose of chaos and heroism onto your table, bringing six new heroes ready for battle and nine villains that will test your limits. The new mechanic here is "Suddenly!", which adds an element of surprise that can turn the game upside down. The setting now delves into the dark nights of Rook City, where sinister cults, masked assassins, and organized crime gangs rule the streets. New environments like the Pike Industrial Complex and the Temple of Zhu Long promise unique challenges. Meet the Dark Watch team: Expatriette, the vigilante with an arsenal for every occasion; Mr. Fixer, the master of martial arts and mechanics; NightMist, the paranormal investigator; The Harpy, a former villain seeking redemption; and the unlucky but brave Setback. Each with their unique abilities, they must unite against threats like GloomWeaver, Spite, and the feared Chairman. With a strong language dependency, this expansion is for those who aren't afraid to read cards and want to dive headfirst into the Sentinels universe, whether playing solo or with friends. It's more content to fight evil and save the day, of course!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

Yes, absolutely! Rook City Renegades is an expansion and doesn't work on its own. You need the base game to use all the new content.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the base game's player count, so you can play with 1 to 5 players. It's great for both solo sessions and group play.
What does the new "Suddenly!" mechanic do?
This mechanic adds an element of surprise to cards, which can unexpectedly change the course of the game. It's an extra spice to the action!
Does the game's complexity increase with this expansion?
The overall complexity remains similar to the base game (around a 3.07 weight). The new mechanics and characters add variety without making the game prohibitive.
Is the game heavily language-dependent?
Yes, the expansion has a high language dependency, as most cards contain text crucial for gameplay. It's essential that players can read English or have access to translations.
Who are the new heroes and villains?
You get access to heroes like Setback, Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, NightMist, The Harpy, and Alpha, as well as villains like GloomWeaver, Spite, Plague Rat, and The Chairman.
Is it worth it for someone who already owns many Sentinels expansions?
If you're looking for more hero, villain, and environment variety, and enjoy the dark Rook City theme, it's definitely worth it. The "Suddenly!" mechanic also brings a fresh twist.
