About the game
If you're already a fan of Twisted Cryptids, get ready because the Ness Is More expansion is here to crank up the fun. You know that feeling when you just want more options on the table? That's exactly what this pack delivers. The main stars here are two new iconic playable characters: the legendary Nessie (from Loch Ness) and the feared Chupacabra. It's not just 'more of the same'—each one brings a unique flavor to the match, shifting the dynamics for whoever is playing them.

But the excitement doesn't stop with the characters. The expansion introduces new action cards that provide a real upgrade to the game's mobility. Now, you can move your tokens up to two regions away, which opens up a much wider range of aggressive (or stealthy, depending on your style) strategies. If you previously felt stuck in one corner of the map, movement now flows much better, allowing you to spread chaos wherever it's most convenient.

Keep in mind that, as with any expansion, you'll need the base game to make this work. It's the kind of content that fills gaps and adds layers of complexity without making the game feel too bloated. If you enjoy seeing mythical creatures fighting for territory and want to expand the tactical possibilities of your sessions, this is the right call. Just a heads-up: the content is quite text-heavy, so if you aren't fluent in English, you might need a translation to ensure you don't miss any of the strategic nuances on the cards!
