About the game
Entropy: The Ronin is an expansion for the card game Entropy. The expansion makes it possible to play as a new character: The Ronin. The goal of the Ronin player is different, it's about complete another player's world. To do so the Ronin can use Wild Fragments, but also have two unique character abilities (one more skill then the other players). Although the Ronin does not have an own world panorama, the two ability cards combine makes a panorama. The expansion also adds a set of action cards to fully support six players.

Questions and answers
Entropy: The Ronin expansion supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Entropy: The Ronin expansion for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Entropy: The Ronin expansion has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.

The catalogue lists Entropy: The Ronin expansion as an expansion for Entropy.
