About the game
Introducing Northwest: Campfire & Solo Expansion - the brand-new expansion that adds two exciting new ways to play, each offering a unique twist on your journey through the Pacific Northwest. Telling stories around a campfire is part truth, part myth—and the Tale Cubes bring that spirit into the game. These cubes let players embellish or create parts of their Journal for a new layer of strategy and storytelling. For those adventurers who prefer to take on the challenges of Northwest alone, we introduce the Solo Summits mode! Prepare for a strategic and rewarding journey as you tackle the trails alone. —description from the publisher
