Warhammer Chaos in der Alten Welt

Die Gehörnte Ratte Erweiterung

In the Old World of Warhammer players represent four Ruinous Powers and fight for dominance. These powers are rewarded with victory points when devastating and domination regions. All phases of the game are card-driven, 50 victory points at the end of round are the conditions necessary for victory; alternately, the gods excessively use their special means of threat which are administrated via the dials. If you reach the notch “victory” on those, you win, too. When none of the powers has achieved victory when the stack of cards is exhausted, the Old World has saved itself!

This expansion rules for a 5^th player and a new Ruinous Power in the guise of the Horned Rat and the Skaven faction, which can also be used in a game with less than five players. Furthermore, there is a set of Old World Cards for expert and an alternative set of Chaos cards and Improvement cards for the four Ruinous Powers featured in the core game; those sets can be used with the expansion or without it. But you can only use either the original decks or the new replacement decks from The Horned Rat; you cannot mix those two sets of cards. For the variant “The Realm of Chaos” the Old World stack is made up from expert cards only, which results in a more difficult and slightly cooperative game.

As in all games of that kind you must like the topic and have considerable experience in playing such game in order to enjoy it and use all possibilities in an optimum way. If you like the core game Chaos in the Old World you will want to expand it with Die Gehörnte Ratte Erweiterung – The Horned Rat Expansion.
