About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a cosmic adventure in Unsettled: Yendraal, the fourth expansion for this cooperative game that throws you into a breathtaking sci-fi setting. Here, you and your friends will explore a gigantic sentient coral organism floating through the cosmos. Imagine colorful, life-filled tunnels intersecting cavernous pockets, each housing wondrous creatures and unique resources. But beware! This planet has an ancient awareness, and every step you take might awaken its attention. To survive and thrive in this alien environment, you'll need to employ a new and intriguing form of diplomacy, alongside plenty of strategy and luck with dice rolls. The modular board ensures that each visit to Yendraal is a different experience, with a setup that changes each game, maintaining tension and the need for adaptation. The worker placement mechanic comes into play to efficiently manage your resources and actions. Yendraal brings unprecedented challenges, such as Coral Towers, the Ethereal Constellation, Intelligent Mists, Resonant Eels, and Effervescent Flame Pearls. Developed by the community during the original Kickstarter launch, this expansion promises to test your survival and cooperation skills in a truly exotic and dangerous environment. It's time to brave the unknown and try to make it out alive from this cosmic marvel!
