About this expansion

The Edge: Dawnfall – Plastic Bosses Expansion is a co-op and PvP expansion for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. Released in 2020, it adds six bosses for the main factions, along with additional cards and scenarios.

In the dedicated solo system, player-controlled factions face Huge Bosses directed by AI. Each boss has a distinctive action deck, and the order of its cards changes its tactics from game to game. You always face one boss at a time, with every opponent bringing a different challenge.

To create a boss’s action deck, take three cards from its deck and place them on the table. Each card has a top and bottom action; overlapping cards initially leave the boss with four available actions. As the boss is wounded, remove action cards to reveal previously hidden abilities. The boss is defeated only when its final card is removed.

  • Distinctive targeting: Boss actions may target the weakest models, the closest models, or models in base-to-base contact.
  • Unique tokens: Quarry, Control, Shields, and Toxic tokens add further twists to boss mechanics and combat characteristics.
  • Scenario content: Every boss includes two dedicated mini scenarios.
  • PvP versatility: Each boss can also be fielded as a fully playable boss for its respective faction.

Against other players, these bosses bring the same asymmetry and distinctive flavor found in their AI encounters. The result is a demanding expansion where every boss offers new tactics, special rules, and a reason to try again.

With its layered action-card system and varied encounter content, The Edge: Dawnfall – Plastic Bosses Expansion turns each battle into a test of adaptation, whether you are fighting the AI or another faction.
