Ichor - Reinforcements & Gates Expansion (Reiner Knizia)

The new gods and monsters add just the right amount of strategic depth—the ability to place an extra character mid-game really shifts how you plan your moves. The abilities feel fresh without complicating the base game too much. This is a solid expansion for anyone who plays the original regularly.

I was a bit worried this expansion would make the game feel crowded, but the ability to add an extra character during play is surprisingly smooth. It really opens up new strategies without breaking the core balance I love.

The new gods and monsters in this expansion add such clever pressure mechanics, like the ability to drop another character mid-game. It really shakes up the strategy without overcomplicating things.
