About this expansion

51st State: Master Set – No Man’s Land is an area-control expansion for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Released in 2023, it adds a contested territory where players compete to gain control and benefit from its regions.

The No Man’s Land board represents areas close to the players’ factions and is divided into nine distinct areas. Each area provides different bonuses, giving players reasons to contest specific parts of the board as the game develops.

Players spend their Contact tokens not only to interact with cards from their hands, but also to interact with the No Man’s Land board. By building bases and outposts in the territory, they can gain advantages from the regions and collect resources and Victory Points.

  • Nine areas, each offering different bonuses
  • Bases and outposts that provide regional advantages
  • Resources and Victory Points gained through territorial control

The expansion’s area-control mechanism creates a constant push and pull between the players. Control can become contested as everyone seeks the best opportunities, keeping the game interactive and maintaining pressure until the end.

With its additional board and new ways to spend Contact tokens, 51st State: Master Set – No Man’s Land brings a new dimension to the experience. Players must watch the changing balance across the territory while pursuing resources, Victory Points, and control of valuable regions.
