Galèrapagos: Tribes and Characters Expansion – More Betrayals on the Island!
The island gets even smaller... and you're no longer alone!
If you thought managing thirst and hunger with your "friends" was difficult, wait until you see what this expansion has in store for you. Tribes and Characters brings three major modules that you can mix and match as you please to completely renew the survival (or social elimination) experience.
The concept? Give each castaway an identity and make the island environment much less predictable.
The 3 explosive modules of the expansion:
-
Module 1: Characters (Asymmetry). Each player now receives a Character card with a unique power usable once per game or permanently. The pyromaniac, the rich heiress or the survivor... these roles radically change the way you negotiate your place on the raft.
-
Module 2: Tribes (Events). The "Weather" card deck is enhanced with "Tribe" cards. These natives can help you (by offering you food) or severely punish you depending on your collective choices. This adds a narrative and unpredictable layer to each turn.
-
Module 3: New Wreck cards. New items appear in the pile of debris: more powerful, more devious, and sometimes totally absurd items that can overturn a desperate situation at the time of the final vote.
Why is this expansion a necessary "survival"?
-
Breaks the Routine: After 50 games of the base game, you often know who will die first. Character powers break these certainties and allow for epic turnarounds.
-
More Interactions: Tribe cards force the group to make even more heartbreaking collective decisions than usual.
-
Impeccable Material: You'll find the humorous illustrations that make the range so good. The cards fit perfectly into the base box (if you have the "Big Box" version or by simply mixing the decks).
-
Up to 12 players: Galèrapagos remains one of the rare "deception" games that works so well in large groups, and the expansion reinforces this organized chaos.
