About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a new adventure in The 7th Citadel with the "The Unveilers" expansion! This nifty addition introduces the magical ladybugs, nicknamed "Unveilers," which are drawn to mystical emanations like bees to flowers. They don't bite, but their presence indicates something powerful (and perhaps dangerous!) is hidden nearby. Upon encountering a swarm of them, a miniature appears on the location, and it's up to you to decide what to do: interact with the ladybugs or dig to discover what attracted them. This choice could lead to incredible artifacts, arcane creatures, or even cursed objects! "The Unveilers" expands exploration and hand management, introducing new tactical decisions and a touch of mystery with each discovery. It's an expansion that adds more depth and surprises to the already acclaimed universe of The 7th Citadel, perfect for those seeking more challenges and twists in their cooperative or solo journeys. With a modular board and grid movement, each game is a new experience!

This expansion adds an intriguing element to the base game, introducing the "Unveilers," sizable ladybugs attracted to magic. Their appearance on a terrain card signals the presence of something hidden. Players will have to decide between directly interacting with these creatures or risking digging up the spot to reveal what drew them in. The consequences of this decision can range from finding powerful artifacts and mystical creatures to unearthing cursed items. The hand management mechanic is put to the test with new choices, and the exploration of the modular board gains a new element of risk and reward. "The Unveilers" is ideal for players who appreciate the cooperative and exploration nature of The 7th Citadel, looking to add more mystery and impactful decisions to their game sessions.
