City of the Great Machine: Stand-In Heroes Expansion

The Stand-In Heroes expansion for City of the Great Machine introduces a new wave of resistance to the floating city of Krughov. The brave heroes represented in the base game have done their best to resist the cold, calculating logic of the Great Machine, but in this timeline, their initial efforts have faltered. However, the spark of rebellion is not so easily extinguished. New figures have emerged from the shadows, ready to take up the mantle of those who came before them. These reinforcements are prepared to start exactly where the original heroes left off, bringing fresh hope to the oppressed citizens and new headaches for the Great Machine player.

This expansion adds six entirely new heroes to the game, each possessing extraordinary skills and specialised tactics that differ from the original cast. While these characters are designed to take the place of the corresponding heroes from the base game, they offer completely different strategic options for the Revolution side. Whether you are looking for new ways to manipulate the city districts, hide from the Great Machine's mechanical guards, or incite the populace to riot, these stand-in heroes provide the tools necessary for a last-ditch attempt to dismantle the surveillance state. Their unique abilities force the Great Machine player to adapt their defensive strategies and rethink their path to total control.

As a modular addition to your tabletop experience, the Stand-In Heroes expansion increases the replayability and variety of your sessions significantly. Each character comes with their own detailed miniature and character card, maintaining the high production standards of the core game. Because the expansion focuses on asymmetrical gameplay, it allows players to experiment with new synergies and team compositions as they navigate the shifting districts of the Great Machine's domain. Please note that this is an expansion; a copy of the City of the Great Machine base game is required to utilise the characters and components included in this set.
