Dark Venture: Battle of the Ancients – Ghosts and Robots

The Ghosts & Robots expansion contains two factions.

The Ghosts are hidden to all but their controlling player. They move in secret on a magnetic mini-map behind a screen and are only visible when they share a space with another unit. They move more quickly than other units, can pass through the walls of buildings, and have the power to possess and control units of other factions!

The Robots gather materials that are used to construct new bots and drones. Materials are also used to purchase hardware upgrades: new weapon-enabled limbs, processors, and advanced shielding. They can also research new technologies to increase their defensive and offensive options: cloaking tech, nuclear cores, napalm, and landmines.

The map can be used to link the map from the Core Game to the Forgone Castle map to create an epic 3-board map! With such a large play area, players will need to move their units further on each turn, so each faction will be provided with means to do so: the Dhargon have a raft to move along the river running from one edge of the Epic map to the other, the Orpal can create transport portals, the Varpen can mutate wings, and the Eggmen will be provided with bicycles.
