About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already into the subterranean chaos of Terror Below, the Hidden Cache expansion brings even more excitement and upgrades! This beauty, born on Kickstarter, supercharges your base game with brand-new components and a bunch of extras that will make your sessions even more tense and fun. Think new worms to face (or control!), an experimental arm cannon to boost your attacks, and even a physical storybook for those who love diving into the lore. The wooden components have been upgraded, with cooler target tokens and even a wooden tank marker for that extra charm. To top it off, there are bonus wooden dice and glow-in-the-dark eggs – because who doesn't want glowing eggs running away from you in the dark? The expansion adds the 'Pick-up and Deliver' mechanic, requiring you to collect items and transport them to other points on the map, adding a new strategic layer. With new player powers and the possibility of using action points more dynamically, the game becomes more complex but without losing that fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled feel. It's the kind of expansion that makes you want to jump back into the base game and try everything again with these new additions.
