About the game

What you do in a play session

The Envy Expansion for The Others: 7 Sins brings more chaos and despair to your table! If you enjoy the dark vibe and the fight against the apocalypse from the base game, this addition will immerse you even further. Get ready to face a new Avatar, a sinister Controller, and six Abominations that will cause trouble. The pack also includes a Sin board and 12 new cards that inject unique mechanics tied to Envy, changing the game with each playthrough.

Remember that The Others is an asymmetric horror game for up to 5 players. One player takes on the role of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, unleashing monsters and their powers to spread chaos and bring about the end of the world. The other players team up as heroes of the F.A.I.T.H. organization, attempting to stop the invasion. Each Sin has its own deck of cards and a central mechanic that sets it apart, and Envy is no exception. This expansion intensifies the experience, adding more variety and challenges for the heroes and new tactics for the Sin player.

It's a great addition for those who already enjoyed the original game and want more content to explore. The expansion adds more pieces to the modular board and more variable player powers, ensuring each game is different. The complexity remains, and the tension increases with the new threats. If you thought you had mastered the base game, Envy is here to prove you wrong!
