Cloudspire: Keel – Faction Expansion

About this expansion

Cloudspire: Keel – Faction Expansion is a faction expansion for 1–4 players with a 180-minute play time, focused on precise spire placement, powerful transformations, and dynamic hero abilities.

Spire placement is especially important for the Keel. Their spires represent the darkness of the faction’s void-based technology casting a shadow across the land, and placing one on a tile is the only way a Keel unit can transform into its much more powerful promoted version.

Some Keel spires also grant new abilities to promoted minions, creating an even more potent challenge for the faction’s enemies. However, that strength requires control: if a minion leaves an island hex containing a Keel spire, it flips back to its non-promoted version.

• Strategic spire placement: Position Keel spires carefully to unlock and preserve promoted minions.
• Promoted abilities: Some spires add new abilities, increasing the potential of your transformed forces.
• Dynamic heroes: Chira can increase the Keel’s CP when the proper spire placement is in place, while General Eko counts as a spire in his own right.
• Poise: Chira’s ability lets minions increase or decrease their movement stat.

Maintaining control over the Source wells along your path is essential if you want your minions to remain mighty. Movement becomes a key strategic consideration, as Chira’s Poise can help forces stay powerful for an extra turn or push ahead toward a quick victory.

With its emphasis on positioning, transformation, and movement control, Cloudspire: Keel – Faction Expansion gives the Keel a distinctive way to approach the battlefield and challenge their enemies.
