About this expansion

A War of Whispers: Dark Alliances is a card-based addition for 2–4 players, with an approximate play time of 60 minutes. Released in 2020, it introduces powerful Dark Alliances cards to the game.

These cards begin in the deck alongside the other cards, making them part of the game from the start. Their presence adds a distinctive possibility to each session without requiring a separate starting setup.

When you use a Dark Alliances card, you can help one of your fellow players. That assistance comes with a price, creating a compelling choice about when to offer support and what you are willing to give in return.

The cards are designed around an intriguing tension: their power can benefit another player, but using them is not free. This gives A War of Whispers: Dark Alliances a focused additional element centered on aid, cost, and carefully timed decisions.

Whether you are playing with two, three, or four players, the Dark Alliances cards remain in the shared deck with the rest of the cards. Their straightforward concept makes the expansion easy to understand while preserving the importance of every choice.

For players looking to add a new card-driven possibility to their game, Dark Alliances offers a concise way to help a fellow player while accepting a price. It is a focused addition built around powerful cards and the consequences attached to using them.
