About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for another adventure in 'The Goonies: Under the Goondocks – A Never Say Die Expansion'! If you thought the hunt for One-Eyed Willy's treasure was over, think again! Troy, that spoiled rich kid, hasn't given up on his plans to turn the Goondocks into a country club and, worse, he's now after the treasure out of pure spite. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stop him from unearthing more than he should and unleashing the evils hidden beneath the town.

This expansion brings three new missions that continue the 'The Goonies: Never Say Die' saga, packed with new enemies, tempting treasures, and characters that will keep you glued to the table. With the help of Stef, Andy, and Brand, you and your crew will have to race against time and against Troy himself.

The game maintains its cooperative feel and the excitement of dice rolling, but adds new layers of strategy with area movement and the possibility of using multiple maps, making each scenario a unique experience. The variable setup ensures no two games are alike, and each character's distinct powers give you that special edge. It's a chance to relive the adventurous spirit of The Goonies, with just the right complexity to not scare off newcomers, but challenging enough for veterans. Get your dice and your courage ready, because the Goondocks need you!
