This expansion features 6 new fiendishly interchangeable Syndicates for your playing pleasure! From android assassins to sinister spacers, this expansion packs a punch, providing new and novel ways for your agents to raise the stakes on Shadow Moon. However, their arrival to the Moon is not subtle... they want all inhabitants to feel the effects of their influence with 2 new types of Status Tokens, Riot and Invest. When placed, Riot tokens will allow you to target that sector with your Actions, even if a card dictates a different sector. Invest tokens will enable you to keep up with the competition - every time an opponent places influence in that sector, you will also get to Add 1 influence. Don’t let the arrival of these new Syndicates shake you - you’ll be equipped with new Trait Cards, Reference Cards, and a fresh Appendix so you can learn their wicked ways.
Components: 60 Agent Cards, 6 Trait Cards, 10 Status Tokens, 5 Reference Cards, 1 Appendix.
Requires: The Core Game of Shadow Moon Syndicates To Play
What Players Are Saying:
“It's nice to add these synndicates in to mix up game play and add a couple more status tokens to balance out some of the actions.” - BGG user, SunnyD44
“The expansion is not a must have, but is also not bloat. It does add 6 factions and 2 special tokens. I would always play with it as it is seemless to add, does not increase complexity, and it enhance replayability.” BGG User - thesmk

What Players Are Saying:
“Really good, pure, card driven area control game, that doesn’t really feel like any other card driven area control game” - BGG user, joelpetersen
“A very fun, complex, easy-to-understand, and tactical game” - BGG user, Curlybomb
“holy cow! is this game fun!” - BGG user, Gn0mey
“Preliminary rating after one play of base game with easiest syndicates, so may go up. Great game! Interesting card play driving a tense map battle. A couple of standout things for me were the construction of your hand for the last round and also the timing/choice of private vs. public objectives. Also love the amazing variability based on deck combinations. Can't wait to play more!” - BGG user, sithel
