Vengeance: Director's Cut Expansion is an expansion for Vengeance released in 2020 for 1–5 players, 30–150 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Gordon Calleja and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Take That, and Set Collection.
As you dodge, roll and reverse-blade your way into the room where the boss is hiding you lock eyes with Donna Immacolata, your life-long nemesis and… -“CUTTTTTT!!! No, this won’t work. This scene needs to be more snappy. Swap that scrawny grunt for a tougher guy. The hero needs to earn his final show-down!” The Director’s Cut Expansion adds a layer of direct player interaction as players alternate in taking the role of a vengeance movie director. Players can influence the action by playing Director cards during another player’s fight phase activating minions and bosses as well as triggering directorial changes that break the fourth wall such as changing extras in the scene or changing the scene altogether! The Director’s Cut Expansion also includes the brutal Immacolati gang and a new hero, Napoleone. Napoleone is hell-bent on taking down Donna Immacolata, the leader of the Immacolati gang who framed his family for a smuggling operation into a rival gang’s territory and had them murdered brutally in a swimming pool outside the city. Finally, this expansion also pumps the narrative punch of the game, adding Hero Perks, new abilities that are specific to each Hero and fit their back-story; and Story Missions. Story Missions replace the standard Missions and, similar to the Solo Missions, are Hero-specific Missions that are based on their back-story. In short, it’s one hell of a sequel!! —description from publisher
