About the game

This extension contains two fundamental mechanical differences from the original saga. The first concerns the Heroes. From the start of the adventure, you will be able to identify and embody eight individuals who are more talented than the others. A strong but inexplicable connection seems to bind them together. Pilot, special forces soldier, psychiatrist... each excels in their field and will give you an undeniable advantage on the battlefield. However, this immediate connection with all these Heroes makes your mental bond less powerful. Only time spent alongside each of them will improve their performance. Your Heroes start with very few standard tiles. Fortunately, each of their talents comes with an additional standard tile that is very useful for progressing on the Destiny Grids. Each Power Word will therefore be all the more valuable to you in succeeding in your quest.
