Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game "The 7th Continent" to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! "Forgotten Passages" is an expansion and adds content to the base game. You need to own "The 7th Continent" to play with it.
Is this expansion the same as "What Goes Up, Must Come Down"?
This expansion includes many of the stretch goals that were originally part of the "What Goes Up, Must Come Down" campaign. If you already own the Kickstarter version (white box) of that expansion, you likely already have this content and don't need this new version.
How many players can play?
Just like the base game, "Forgotten Passages" supports 1 to 4 players. The cooperative experience is the main focus.
How complex is the game with this expansion?
The overall complexity remains similar to the base game. The weight on BGG is 3/5, indicating a game with more elaborate rules, but still accessible for those who have already ventured onto the island.
Does the playtime change much with the expansion?
The playtime in The 7th Continent is extremely variable, ranging from 5 minutes to 10,000 minutes (literally!). The expansion adds more content, which can extend the duration of your sessions, but the nature of the exploration dictates the pace.
Do I need to know English to play?
Yes, the game has a high language dependency. Most of the text on cards, events, and scenarios is in English, so a good understanding is necessary to fully enjoy the experience.
