About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive headfirst into the newest expansion for This War of Mine: The Board Game, called 'Days of the Siege'. If you thought life in a besieged city was tough, just wait until you see what awaits you! This expansion isn't just another pack of cards; it's an entire war campaign, divided into 3 acts, that throws you right into the heart of the conflict in Pogoren. There are over 750 new stories and events to keep you glued to your seat, a brand-new map of the city, and never-before-seen rules that will test your survival skills like never before.
You and your group will have to make tough, nail-biting choices that will define the city's future. Caught between a rock and a hard place, with Grazni soldiers becoming more numerous and Vyseni rebels infiltrating, tension is guaranteed. And don't forget the most vulnerable: the 'Orphans of War' module introduces children into the equation, with miniatures and action cards that will make you think twice about every decision. Want more? There are new cards for exploration, inédite locations to scavenge, and even a dog to keep you company (or not, depending on how you handle it!).
'Days of the Siege' is for those who love to delve into dense narratives and aren't afraid to face the moral dilemmas and harsh realities of war. If you enjoy cooperative games that leave you thinking long after the game is over, this expansion is a full course meal. Prepare for an epic and emotional experience where every choice matters, and the fate of Pogoren might depend on your actions.
