Worldspanner Factions Set 2 - Expanses

Set 2 nearly doubles the content of Set 1. It does not add new rules, and in fact comes with no rulebook. It adds 55 new heroes, 104 new treasures, doubles the size of the challenge deck and Quest decks, and adds 12 new map pieces. Factions is the grand successor to the Duel of Ages series of games. A combination of tactical RPG and adventure, Factions carries on the tradition of intensity and uniqueness. Two decades have proven that you've never played a game like this.

Two teams of heroes from past, present, and future descend into the Worldspanner Arena and compete to earn the most glory by acts of renown--and by facing down the enemy. Earn the alliance of one of the six factions, or the queen mother of the Games.

The teams take turns, conducting an action with each hero--move, attack, unleash a minion. This is followed by reactions from the opposing team, after which the current team conducts adventures. Play continues for 9 or 12 turns, after which objective points are tallied. Most objective points are earned from non-combat activities such as alliances with the different factions.
