About the game
Erebus introduces Team Mode in The Breach in which each player has to cooperate with other members of their team and counter their opponents. Many ex-Breachers have betrayed the cause and their companions, and now control the Agents in the database. This new generation of sentient enemies will give the Breachers a real run for their money, and they will have to unite against these common enemies. This expansion introduces Team Mode in which players, divided into Breacher Team and Corp. Team, must coordinate within the Erebus Database to lead their team to victory. Each player on the Breacher Team controls an Avatar in the Database, while each player on the Corp. Team controls an Agent and Firewall I.C.E.s. In Team Mode, the game ends when one of the two Teams wins the game. To win the game, the Breacher Team must complete all the Objective Cards they have. To win the game, the Corp. Team must complete all Corp. Objective Cards and the I.C.E. Cube on the Corp. Track must have reached or passed the Debug icon. —description from the rulebook

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 The Breach: Erebus is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists The Breach: Erebus for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
