About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for another round of terror and despair with the 'Lust' expansion for The Others: 7 Sins! This beauty adds a new and dangerous Sin to your roster of villains, bringing a Lust Avatar, a specific Controller, and six Abominations that will give you nightmares. Plus, there's a brand-new board and 12 Sin cards that change the game with surprising effects, always tied to the Lust theme.

In the universe of The Others, one player takes on the dark role of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, unleashing horrors and monsters to try and plunge the world into chaos. The other players unite as heroes from the F.A.I.T.H. organization, fighting bravely against this demonic invasion. Each Sin has its own special mechanic that permeates the entire game, and Lust is no different, adding an extra layer of challenge and strategy for both sides. The monsters summoned by the Sin player can either directly attack the heroes or hinder their missions, making every step a tense battle.

This expansion is a feast for those who already enjoy the base game and want more variety and challenges. The introduction of a new Sin means new tactics for the evil player and new ways for the heroes to be tested. If you like games with a horror theme, tactical combat, and the thrill of asymmetric powers, the Lust expansion will leave you wanting more. Remember that the base game is required to play, and language dependency can be a factor, as many cards and references require text comprehension.
