## Description
Warpgate: Beyond arrives as the first major expansion for Warpgate, the fast‑paced galactic conquest game that already has players racing around the table. The idea is straightforward: replace the entire base‑game deck with 242 new cards (excluding the “Daily Unlocks”) and pack in a slew of fresh content that boosts depth and replayability. Objectives have been overhauled with a partial‑completion mechanic, letting you score points even if you don’t finish the whole mission. Hero, Basic and Advanced Tactics cards were rebalanced and expanded, giving you more strategic options for every situation. All Technology cards were completely reworked, gaining new effects and power adjustments. Solo fans get two separate AI action decks, delivering tougher and more varied solo challenges. Keep in mind that, despite the massive content boost, you still need the base game to play this expansion. Playtime ranges from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on player count (1‑6) and familiarity with the new cards. The complexity stays low (weight 2/5), so both newcomers and Warpgate veterans will find the learning curve gentle. In short, Beyond is a full‑scale upgrade that revitalizes the core game, adding strategic layers without overcomplicating the experience.
