About this expansion

G.I. JOE Deck-Building Game: New Alliances – A Transformers Crossover Expansion is a 2023 expansion for 1–4 players with an approximately 70-minute play time. It brings the G.I. JOE team together with the Autobots to defend Earth from giant robots hiding in plain sight.

Cobra is involved in the crisis, but it is not the greatest danger. The Joes must join forces with new Autobot allies, including Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, to battle the evil Decepticons and their sinister Cobra allies, led by Old Snake.

A new crossover Mission introduces a Space Bridge tile, while Autobot cards add fresh options for recruitment and missions. Autobots can operate in bot mode without requiring transport, or use their alternate vehicle modes to carry members of the JOE team.

  • New Autobot allies: Recruit characters such as Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.
  • Ark and Energon: Manage the new Ark component and Energon dice pool to fuel Autobot skills and technology.
  • Constructicons: Their presence makes cards more expensive to recruit.
  • Devastator: If six Constructicons are in play simultaneously, you must face the mighty Devastator.

Managing the Energon supply is central to making the most of the Autobots’ abilities and technology, while their different forms create new ways to move JOE team members into action. Meanwhile, the Constructicons increase recruitment costs and threaten to combine into an even greater danger.

With its new allies, crossover Mission, components, and threats, G.I. JOE Deck-Building Game: New Alliances – A Transformers Crossover Expansion adds a large-scale Transformers conflict to the G.I. JOE setting.
