## Overview

The Gears of Corruption expansion for Stonemaier Games' Expeditions introduces new mechs, characters, and a 6-player option, enhancing strategic depth and player interaction. It accelerates early gameplay with starting resources and a flexible hero worker, while adding risk through secret bonuses and a corrupted mech roaming the map. Designed for seamless integration, it’s a must-have for fans seeking richer, faster, and more inclusive gameplay.

## Description

Following a series of expeditions—some successful, others not—into the frigid Siberian tundra, corruption has spread from animals and people to a much larger threat. New heroes, better prepared than their predecessors, gather to face the prospect of a mechanical monster, but the changing landscape brings greater uncertainty as they explore Tunguska with fresh eyes. The Gears of Corruption expansion to Expeditions adds elements of risk and danger in the form of secret bonuses on map tokens and a corrupted mech that roams the land. To counter these threats, the expansion offers 2 new mechs and 4 new character/companion pairs, as well as components for a 6th player. Gears of Corruption also accelerates early gameplay by giving players starting resources and a hero worker that can act as any type of worker. Designed by Jamey Stegmaier Art and Worldbuilding by Jakub Rozalski.

Review: I'll start by saying, this should really be part of the main game. New cards, new characters, the ability to now play with 7 players & a replacement tile. It can also speed the game along if you decide to use the additional workers (optional). The big improvement is the new player mats. They come with grooves where your guile & power counters won't slide out. All this fits perfectly in the original box too.
Review: Great to add additional players!
