## Description

War knows no end. Its victims are counted in thousands and each day we lose hope, little by little. Food is becoming scarce and our shelter is falling apart — yet we keep struggling. New faces can be seen around the city: the friendly ones at the makeshift market or in neighboring houses, the hostile ones in the night with blinding flashlights and clubs and knives. We seek new paths to travel through the ruins — sometimes even underground — just to avoid sniper fire and loot anything of value. It's never much, yet we keep struggling. We have no other choice. Tales from the Ruined City is the first expansion for This War of Mine: The Board Game, a story-rich game of survival in a war-torn city. The expansion introduces a range of game modules to enrich the base game: - Emira is the 13th Character complete with a personal background; you may introduce her in any playthrough - Desperate Measures cards empower you whenever you lose anyone from your group - Farmers module features the Market, where your choices affect the way people perceive you; it also gives you a chance to interact with people from outside the city - Sewers are full of unknown dangers and thrilling narrative, providing you with options for additional Scavenging runs - Five Scenarios offer many hours of thrilling gameplay; each features unique rules and components and winning one of them gives you access to a reward envelope with special legacy content Face atrocities of war and prove that from horrible desperation comes great courage.

Review: Amazing additional experience to the base game! - This expansion is incredible. I’m still playing but the added components to the game delivers a whole new experience to the base game. Looking out for others, investigating, love stories, sheltering refugees... There’s a lot to do here and every single piece is full of sentiment and reality. This game is one of the most immersive board games I’ve ever played. If you like the way This War of Mine deals with reality, by all means, get this expansion. You will not regret.
Review: Another winner - An incredible expansion to an already incredible game. The new farmers module and the market allow for more flexibility and less survival meta gaming, as well as being easier for new players, while the sewers offer their own risks and rewards. The new campaigns and scenarios are the cherry on top.
