Expeditions
The sequel to Scythe sends players on a new adventure into Siberia, where a massive meteorite crashed near the Tunguska River, awakening ancient corruption. An expedition led by Dr. Tarkovsky ventures into the taiga to learn about the meteorite and its impact on the land. Itching for adventure, heroes from the war privately fund their own expeditions to Siberia, hoping to find artifacts, overcome challenges, and ultimately achieve glory. Expeditions has completely different mechanisms than Scythe, though the goal was to capture some of the same feelings that Scythe evokes, with a slightly darker, more supernatural theme.
Expeditions is a competitive, card-driven, engine-building game of exploration. Play cards to gain power, guile, and unique worker abilities; move your mech to mysterious locations and gain cards found among the tiles; use workers, items, meteorites, and quests to enhance your mech; and use power and guile to vanquish corruption.

Rules summary
Remember the once per turn rule!
The worker effects can only be triggered once per turn (no matter the source). So if you've activated the worker effect once (with or without a worker), you shouldn't be able to use it again in the same turn (with or without a worker). The passive effects on Items differ from the worker effects and can trigger multiple times (unless the passive effect reads "once per turn”).
Changes on BGA
- BGA uses the updated Aether Mirror Card from the Gears of Corruption expansion. The updated version includes a "Refresh" instant benefit and handles point values differently.
- BGA uses the updated Location Tile 16 (Encampment) from the Gears of Corruption expansion. The original base game tile mistakenly showed a
5+corruption requirement instead of the intended8+. - When creating a table you can enable the Mech/Companion draft from the Gears of Corruption expansion. Players will start with variable Guile/Power and a Gold worker which acts as a Wild worker (any color).
- When creating a table you can enable the Maps from the Gears of Corruption expansion. When exploring new location tiles, each map token you collect will give you a reward.
