About this expansion

Endless Winter: Canine Familiars Module is an individually packaged module for 1–4 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes. Released in 2022, it adds 12 Canine Familiar cards and 2 instruction cards to Endless Winter.

To set up the module, place the 12 Canine Familiars face up near the board in a deck. During the game, these cards offer an alternative way to add a card to your hand when using the Rest action.

When you place a figure on your Rest action space, you may take 1 Canine Familiar card instead of drawing 1 card from your deck. When taking a Canine Familiar, you may look through the deck and choose any one, giving you direct access to the card that best suits your plans.

Canine Familiar cards are played during step 2 of your turn as if they were Tribe cards. Their abilities function in the same way as Tribe card abilities, including the potential to provide useful action-based rewards.

  • Take a Canine Familiar instead of drawing from your deck when using Rest.
  • Search the Canine Familiar deck and choose any one card.
  • Play Familiars in step 2 as if they were Tribe cards.
  • Gain 1 or 2 Labor and 1 Tool when you have placed a figure on the appropriate Action Column.

With its searchable card deck and Tribe-style abilities, the Canine Familiars Module gives Endless Winter players another focused option when selecting cards during Rest. It is a compact addition containing everything needed to introduce this familiar-focused module.
