Gears of War Expansion Now Available from Fantasy Flight Games

May 22, 2012

Fantasy Flight Games has announced the release of a Print on Demand expansion for Gears of War, available now in their webstore for $9.95.

From Fantasy Flight Games:

Gears of War(TM): The Board Game captures the action-packed excitement of the wildly popular video game series. Now, you can enhance your experience with Mission Pack 1, available through our webstore! With nearly forty new cards, this Print on Demand expansion pits players against six all new enemies in two of the most challenging and exciting Gears of War: The Board Game missions yet.

The two new scenarios in Mission Pack 1 deliver all the tense action fans have come to expect from Gears of War: The Board Game. In “Search for the Stranded,” the COGs must work together to rescue an isolated scavenger while recovering his valuable cache of ammunition and supplies. Then, in “The Showdown,” the COGs must overcome a savage Berserker before facing off against none other than General RAAM himself!

This, along with nineteen new Locust AI Cards, six Enemy Cards, and four Special Weapon Cards, brings entirely new possibilities to your Gears of War: The Board Game experience.

With more on Gears of War: The Board Game Mission Pack 1, here’s a word from designer Brady Sadler:

Gears of War: The Board Game is all about cooperation and seemingly insurmountable odds…one to four super soldiers against a constantly swarming horde of Locust scum. Mission Pack 1 was designed to focus on both of these concepts in exciting new ways. Of the two new missions included in this expansion, one focuses on the strategic cooperation between the COGs and a lonely scavenging Stranded that needs rescued. Even when playing solo, you’ll need to be ready to throw yourself into the line of fire to protect your ally! The other mission is all about being the underdog—pitting players against the combined power of an alternate Berserker and the infamous war-leader himself, General RAAM.

We hope that Mission Pack 1 brings even more thrills and replayability to your Gears of War: The Board Game experience.
