About the game
To Eternity expansion adds more value by bringing the core Machina Arcana experience to a new level! Enjoy a whole new way of play with the addition of the new 'Eternity Chapter Tiles'- a series of custom play areas that augment the existing map tiles. You can even play outside map tiles- expanding the physical space and multiplying the possibilities! Each scenario offers an experience that takes around 90-120 minutes. Streamlined mechanics provide a heightened sense of urgency whilst retaining the general Machina Arcana playstyle, guaranteeing the game will be different every run! This expansion is also 100% compatible with all of the previously published Machina Arcana content (Core and 'From Beyond' items, monsters, events, and explorers).
