The Great Wall: Black Powder

2021 · Expansion for Base-game

The Great Wall: Black Powder

Players reinforce their defenses by building towers between wall sections and staffing them with war machines such as cannons, rocket batteries, and siege crossbows. Engineers and upgrade cards let players customize those machines, choosing different cost, power, and specialization paths. New Horde cards introduce siege engines—battering rams, catapults, and siege towers—that alter how attacks resolve and can target walls, archers, or towers directly. Clans gain unique elite soldiers that upgrade basic units into stronger specialists, and new generals, advisors, artifacts, and tech-tree cards expand tactical options and long-term development choices.
