Etherfields: 5th Player Expansion is an expansion for Etherfields released in 2020 for 1–5 players, 90–180 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. Its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.
This expansion allows you to add a 5th player. This is not only a 5th player expansion, but also an additional character to choose from for any other player count game. We called this character archetype Reaper. This archetype will be based on wounds that this character has taken - the more, the better combos she will be able to execute. There will be multiple ways of using this to your advantage - either by full-on risky play or perhaps more focused on balance and getting a good healing deck build. The Reaper will provide quite interesting mechanics for the whole team! —description from the publisher
