How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Legacy Game

Your choices permanently change the game for future sessions — what you do now matters next time you play!

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Storytelling

The game unfolds like a story, and players help shape the narrative — every session tells a unique tale.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

About This Game

A brand-new scenario (6.5, integrated directly in the campaign) in which the Sphinx will make its appearance in a context you've never seen before! Like the other scenarios, it comes with its own crate box, containing no less than 39 expedition cards, 5 new adversary cards for the Sphinx, 6 special door tokens and zone markers! —description from the publisher
