Etherfields: 5th Player Expansion

About this expansion

Etherfields: 5th Player Expansion expands the game to support 1–5 players, with an indicated play time of 180 minutes. Released in 2020, it adds more than the option to bring a fifth player to the table: it also introduces a new character archetype called the Reaper.

The Reaper can be chosen in games with any player count, giving players a fresh way to approach the experience. Her core mechanics are based on the wounds she has taken. The more wounds she carries, the better the combos she can execute, creating a character whose potential grows through danger.

This wound-driven design supports multiple approaches. Players may lean into a full-on risky play style, accepting greater danger to unlock stronger combinations. Alternatively, they can pursue a more measured plan focused on balance and building a good healing deck.

• Add a fifth player to Etherfields.
• Choose the Reaper in games with any player count.
• Use wounds to enable more powerful combos.
• Choose between risky play and a balanced, healing-focused strategy.

The Reaper also brings interesting mechanics to the whole team. Her choices can shape how the group considers risk, wounds, combos, balance, and healing while playing together.

Whether your group wants to expand its player count or explore a different character style, Etherfields: 5th Player Expansion offers a focused addition built around the Reaper’s unique relationship with wounds. It provides a new strategic direction without being limited to five-player games.
