Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Deckbuilding — The game involves building and managing a deck of cards.
- Decking — The game involves reducing the opponent's deck to zero, and losing when the deck is empty and the player is under siege at the start of their turn.
- set collection — One faction focuses on gathering 'ingredients' to complete 'recipes' to summon powerful units.
- siege — If the opponent has a unit in front of your fortress, you discard a card instead of drawing. If this results in needing to draw but being unable to, and under siege, you lose.
- Unit stacking — Players can only play units on top of other units if they have a matching icon, creating a stacking element. Some factions can play units under stacks.
- Variable player powers — The expansion introduces new factions, including one with a moving fortress and another focused on secretive units.

Quotes (from this video)
- I think this is actually a pretty clever hook.
- I believe it is a stand-alone expansion.
- I thought this was really cool because the powerful unit that you were creating you're like creating a swamp monster monster in a way.
- I thought that was a really cool idea.
- I believe my favorite faction to play is this faction that's um based on a seaside like shanty town.
- My my favorite unit in the game, I think this is just really really clever, is that you have a bunch of these totally normal villager units in the deck.
- So, this does a couple really cool things.
- It's as if they've revealed who they really are and they're more powerful than they seemed.
- I really like this.
- I thought that was a really neat element thematically and mechanically in this expansion.
