About the game
Contents: 3 Ability Cards 5 Scenario Cards 1 Company Card Adding Cards to the Base Game: The ability cards can be added to those in the base game. The scenario cards and company card are only used when playing the scenarios of the mini-campaign.

The scenarios can be played multiple times with the same players, as different choices will lead the game down different paths. For your first game playing the scenario, we advise you to play without the Merge/Swap card or abilities.
