Ancient corruption stirs beneath the Siberian wilderness after a mysterious meteorite crashes near the Tunguska River. Dr Tarkovsky’s expedition has vanished, a rescue mission has failed and rumours of possession have spread through the region. Now rival war heroes have funded their own expeditions into the taiga, searching for lost artefacts, confronting supernatural forces and then claiming glory for themselves. Expeditions is a competitive exploration strategy board game where every journey could uncover something extraordinary.
 
Build a powerful engine of cards as you investigate the mysterious landscape. Play cards to gain Power, Guile along with unique worker abilities, then use these advantages to strengthen your mech as it ventures deeper into the wilderness. Discover new cards among the location tiles, complete quests, gather valuable items and recover meteorites all to prepare your expedition for increasingly dangerous encounters.
 
Your mech is the heart of your expedition, but careful planning will determine how effectively it develops. Position your workers to unlock useful abilities, combine cards to create powerful effects, then spend your resources wisely as you explore unfamiliar territory. When corruption threatens your progress, use your accumulated Power or Guile to confront it and push further into the unknown.
 
As rival expeditions pursue their own ambitions, every decision matters. Finding valuable artefacts can accelerate your plans, while completing quests or defeating corruption can provide the glory needed to secure victory. The result is a richly thematic strategy game built around exploration, card-driven engine building, resource management and tactical decision-making.
 
As the sequel to Scythe, Expeditions offers a completely different set of gameplay mechanisms while capturing a similarly ambitious sense of discovery, development and competition through a darker supernatural setting.
