About the game
Where the core set is focused on the first season of the TV show, this expansion is focused on the first movie. It contains 3 new adventures that collectively tell the story of the movie. You get to explore the Amazon jungle, hike the Himalaya mountains, and break into the Metropolitan Museum. Each adventure includes fun new mechanical twists on the rules found in the core set. These adventures end up being very fun to play and extremely thematic, but they are also a bit more complicated than those found in the core box. The expansion also includes 2 playable heroes complete with suggested starting decks. These include Nicole Noone and Flynn Carsen, the character who started the franchise.
