PAGAN: BEYOND THE PALISADES
Beyond the safe walls, where fear has a name
The confines of Roanoke are no longer sufficient to contain the eternal struggle between the Hunter and the Witch. Venturing beyond the palisades means abandoning the certainties of the village to embrace treacherous terrain, where the fog not only hides physical dangers, but corrupts the very souls of the contenders.
It's an asymmetric deduction board game that elevates the tension of the base game by introducing the Darkness mechanic. This expansion takes the psychological challenge to a new level, forcing players to manage a volatile resource that can clear the board of influence or fuel dark rituals with devastating power.
The real revolution lies in the introduction of Darkness, a double-edged resource that radically changes the game's economy. The Hunter must decide whether to use it to purify the region, risking slower power-ups, while the Witch finds the chaos outside the walls fertile ground for her more complex and deceptive spells.
It's the game for those who have worn out the basics and are looking for even more ruthless strategic depth, where every move has an immediate emotional and tactical cost.
Why BEYOND THE PALISADES gets stuck in your head
A new in-game currency that can be accumulated and spent, offering powerful but dangerous advantages to both factions.
Brand new Hunter and Witch cards that take advantage of the outdoors to create never-before-seen combos.
The setting shifts to wild territories, beautifully reflected in the dark and atmospheric illustrations.
The new mechanics amplify bluffing, making it even more difficult to figure out who is really winning until the very end.
It offers tools to counter the dominant strategies of the base game, completely shaking up the meta.
You will feel the weight of every Darkness token you gain, knowing that it could be the key to your defeat.

THE PRICE OF DARKNESS
New resources, new threats, same deadly hunt
Deep in the forest surrounding Roanoke, the stakes have changed dramatically. This expansion doesn't just add cards, it introduces a completely revamped fear economy, where accumulating power means exposing yourself to incalculable and lethal risks.
The choice is no longer just which denizen to suspect or which ritual to complete, but how much you're willing to sacrifice for immediate gain. Gloom silently accumulates, ready to be spent on powerful actions or turned against those who dared to manipulate it too arrogantly.
Winning now requires meticulous management of one's resources and an even more acute ability to read one's opponent. The line between a crushing victory and a humiliating defeat is as thin as the fog that envelops the fences.
