About the game
What you do in a play session
In the Tannhäuser: Gorgeï expansion, the Russian mercenary Gorgei arrives to spice up your miniature warfare. Each figure comes pre‑painted, complete with a reference card, cardboard tokens, and an introductory scenario that sets the mood for espionage and horror. To play, you need the base game – the expansion won’t run on its own. The Russian setting provides a historical backdrop of World War I, but the atmosphere is even darker, almost like a horror film with characters moving silently across battlefields. Mechanically, the expansion keeps the base game’s dice‑rolling system but introduces variable player powers that evolve during the turn, allowing personal strategies and quick reactions. Each player can choose a set of abilities that change as the game progresses, creating tense and surprising moments. The components are compact: the pre‑painted mini‑figure makes setup easy, the cardboard tokens serve as health and resource markers, and the reference card helps you remember the rules without flipping through the manual. Language support is moderate; if you don’t speak English, you’ll need a translated sheet or cards to play comfortably. In short, Tannhäuser: Gorgeï adds depth and a touch of suspense to your war campaign, ideal for fans of miniatures, dice‑rolling, and a good horror vibe. Moreover, the expansion offers new combat opportunities, letting mercenaries move more freely and use infiltration tactics to surprise opponents. The blend of RPG‑style mechanics and miniature warfare creates an immersive experience where every decision can turn the tide of battle.
