Transcriber's note: the icons in this expansion are the same symbols used in the base game. Where the printed rulebook names an action in words, that wording is used. Where it shows only a symbol, the symbol is written here in brackets with a short description of its shape: [boot icon] (Move), [crossed-tools icon] (Build), [figure icon] (a single standing figure, the Scrapper/Unit symbol), [helmet icon] (a helmet-faced figure), [gripper icon] (a claw-shaped figure), [shield icon] (a shield with a figure inside), and so on. The exact action names behind the helmet, figure, gripper and shield symbols were not printed in this expansion; check them against the base rulebook's icon key before relying on them.
Camdens
Made up of traders and businessmen all coming from the famous London district, this survivor band is still alive all these years after White Death, dealing with all the other survivors. Thanks to their large stock in tech and food, it was so easy to build up a trading network to ensure their survival for years and years. Even the Purebred recognized the Camdens' utility, exploiting them in order to keep their status quo among the Factions of Old London.
How to use the Camdens
If you add this Faction to a game, during the setup, Step 3, add the Zaius Drone token to the already available ones, then decide as usual the starting District where the Drone is placed.
The Zaius Drone follows all Drone rules described in the base game.
Apu's Skill
Apu (Camdens) — Trader: Once during your Action Phase, if a [boot icon] Action with Apu ends in a Region with an Outpost, the player can instantly take an [shield icon] Action in the corresponding Market (meeting all requirements and costs).
In case there are 2 or more different Outposts, the player must choose 1 of the Outposts, then takes 1 [shield icon] Action.
Zaius Drone
Zaius – Mobile Trading Hub: The player can move Zaius up to 2 Regions, then they select an opponent Faction with at least 1 Unit in the same Region where Zaius is located. The player who controls Zaius chooses one Market Action Card on that Faction's Pad and copies all Actions of that card.
Note: This skill can be used only to copy face-up cards.
Zaius Market
Zaius Market Setup: during the setup, Step 8, shuffle the 6 Zaius Market cards. Then place the deck on the Zaius Market Board and reveal the first 2 cards onto the 2 corresponding spots.
The Zaius Drone is the location of a special Market, with 6 powerful cards. All players can purchase from this Market as long as they have the Majority in the Region where the Zaius Drone is, by using a Purchase Action (see page 20 in base game rulebook) and paying the cost as indicated on the card.
Zaius Market – Effect of the Cards
- Card 1 – Perform [boot icon] [boot icon] [boot icon].
- Card 2 – Perform [helmet icon] [helmet icon] [helmet icon] [helmet icon].
- Card 3 – Perform [gripper icon] [gripper icon] [gripper icon] [gripper icon].
- Card 4 – Gain 1 Supply for every 2 Resources in your Reserve.
- Card 5 – Perform a Purchase. This purchase has a discount of 3 Resources.
- Card 6 – Gain 1 Supply for each Outpost you control.
Rads
Hinkley Point Nuclear power plant is where these survivors lived for years, despite the fact that the White Death's cold damaged it. The Rads chose to embrace the warmth of radiation instead of a new icy and wintry climate. Now, many years later, the power plant has collapsed and those hardy scrappers, who lived there, are migrating west toward the old Capital, looking for a new place to settle down.
How to play the Rads
If you add this Faction to a game, during the setup, Step 3, add the Cherno Drone token to the already available ones, then decide as usual the starting District where the Drone is placed.
The Cherno Drone follows all Drones described in the base game.
Cherno Drone
Cherno – Nuclear Collapse: The player can move Cherno up to 2 Regions. All the opponents in the Region where Cherno ends its movement are forced to perform a [boot icon] Action with all their Units to a single linked Region of their choice and ignoring the Majority Rule.
All the opponents perform the [boot icon] Action in Priority order.
Dr. Pierre's Skill
Dr. Pierre (Rad) — Unstable Scientist: if a [boot icon] Action with Dr. Pierre ends in a Region where there are 1 or more Technology tokens, the Rad Player MUST remove one and replace it with 1 Energy Cell.
Rad Faction Skills
Radioactives: All Rad Scrappers and the Rad Leader can perform their [boot icon] and [figure icon] actions ignoring Majorities.
Nuclear Disease: At the end of each Turn (before completing a Mission) the Rad player must remove the same amount of Scrappers as the current Turn number (1 Scrapper in the first Turn, 2 Scrappers in the second Turn, and so on).
Medical Camp: At the end of the first, second and third Turns of the Rad player, before removing their Scrappers according to the Nuclear Disease rule, they can build a Refuge for free in a Region where a Rad Unit is present.
Information Market
In the icy streets of London, handling the right information at the right time is just as important and vital as is drinking and eating. Informers gather in their crowded outposts, selling their knowledge at a really high price; all the survivors know the worth of their information. It's now, more than ever, essential to predict all the movements or to know the plans of rival factions to better manipulate or plan for potential attacks. The Information Market is growing like the other markets in this ruthless era.
This Expansion adds a new Market to the 3 already available in the base game. The Information Market, depicted in Yellow, adds 8 brand new Market Cards, 6 brand new Feats, 6 Starting Information Action Cards and introduces a new mechanic called Timing!
How to use the Information Market
If you decide to add the Information Market to a game, follow these steps during the Setup:
- Setup, Step 6: Choose or pick randomly 1 of the 3 Markets and remove it, substituting it entirely with the Information Market (yellow). Place the Information Outpost (the yellow ones) as you would with the rules for the other Outposts. All rules that refer to the Market that was replaced are now applied to the Information Market.
- Setup, Steps 7, 8, 9: perform these phases using all the Yellow components for the Information Market instead of the removed Market. During Step 8, form the Information Deck using the 8 Market Cards, keeping aside the 6 Starting Information Action Cards depicted with the [yellow banner icon] symbol in the Yellow banner.
- Before the game starts, randomly give 1 Starting Information Action Card to each player (remove the remaining ones from the game). Therefore, each player starts with an additional Action Card.
Note: if a player uses the Faun Faction, this player does not gain the additional Information Action Card, but gains 2 Supplies instead.
Timing!
Information Action Cards (both the Starting ones and the available ones in the Market) use this new rule called Timing! These cards are divided into two sections.
In the upper section, you'll find Actions that you can use as usual in the game.
In the lower part you will find the Actions that you can perform instead of the upper part, and only if you meet the Timing request.
The Timing has to be verified at the time when the Information Card is played and before any other effect is resolved.
