Insurrection: Spectre is an expansion for Insurrection released in 2026 for 2–6 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Tore Næss.
Spectre ("Specters") is the first expansion for the Insurrection card game. This booster pack lets you discover new cards to add to your games. A new faction joins the power struggles: the Specters, who emerge with each elimination and cling to the players who dare to manipulate them. To win, you must now exploit these unstable cards, retrieve them at the right moment, and take advantage of their effects without being overwhelmed.
Insurrection: Spectre 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 listed playing time for Insurrection: Spectre is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Insurrection: Spectre for ages 10 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.
