Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who wants to go to Siberia? In this standalone sequel to Scythe, the players will need to go on an expedition. A meteorite crashed near the Tunguska River. Time to set up an expedition to Siberia because many went before you and did not come back. But in the end, what will you find? Artifacts, overcome challenges, and do you end up with the most VP?

Grab your gear and let\u2019s start this Expedition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Let’s get it on the table<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each player chooses a mech mat, color, and mech. Gain a character card at random and its matching companion. Place these in your hand of cards, kept face up to the left of your mech mat. On your mech mat, place 4 glory tokens (stars), the action token on the Refresh spot. Also, the power token and guile token on the 0 spot of the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s set up the main board. Place the Basecamp board on the table.
Separate the location tiles into three groups by their region (South, Central, and North). Shuffle the region tiles and place them as shown on the diagram at the top right of the basecamp board. The South locations face up in their marked spots. Repeat this process for the 7 Central and then the 7 North locations, but place them all face down instead. Then place 1 map token on each of the face-down Central and North locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shuffle the meteorite, item, and quest cards into a single deck. Place a card face up in each of the 5 spots marked on the Basecamp\u2019s layout diagram and place the deck face down to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place within reach in a general supply the coins, workers, and extra map tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill the bag with all corruption tokens except the 20-value corruption because this 20-value corruption token will be placed on a location during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randomly determine the first player and let’s start this expedition.<\/p>\n\n\n

In expeditions, each player begins their turn by shifting the action token at the upper right of their mech mat. You must either take actions or Refresh. If you choose to take actions, you must perform all available actions, which will be a combination of Move, Play, or Gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOVE: Move your mech to another unoccupied location within a range of 1 to 3 locations (unless your character has a different ability).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLAY: Play 1 card from your hand to gain the core value at the upper left of the card; you may place a specific worker on the bottom left to activate the card\u2019s special ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GATHER: Gain the benefits exposed at your mech\u2019s location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you decide to take a Refresh turn, move all workers placed on active cards to your mech mat. Then, return all active cards to your hand. This Refresh turn can only be done if your action token was covering Move, Play, or Gather at the beginning of this turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final round is triggered when a player places their 4th glory token. Now each player takes one final turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a total of 8 options to achieve these glory tokens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
