About this expansion

Maximum Apocalypse: Gothic Horrors is a deluxe expansion for Maximum Apocalypse for 1–6 players, with a play time of about 90 minutes. It brings supernatural threats, new survivors, and three apocalyptic scenarios to the struggle for survival.

Venture into a world where unspeakable horrors await after dark. Vampires drain the life from their victims, while cultists summon strange creatures and other Lovecraftian horrors. Players must scrounge together enough supplies to endure these threats without losing their minds.

The expansion includes three new apocalyptic scenarios: Cthulhu, Vampires, and the Yokai. The classic monster scenario pits survivors against vampires, ghouls, and werewolves, while the Cthulhu scenario challenges them to stop cultists from summoning unspeakable entities.

  • Insanity deck: Phobias introduce a new mental strain to the apocalyptic experience.
  • Night/day event deck: A new event system brings a distinct rhythm to the supernatural scenarios.
  • Two new survivors: The Priest and Ronin each have a unique deck of abilities and equipment cards.

The Priest is a persistent believer in humanity who offers protection from unspeakable evils. The Ronin is a close-range combatant whose dual-purpose cards change according to her combat stance.

With its combination of classic monsters, cultist rituals, supernatural scenarios, and distinctive survivor abilities, Maximum Apocalypse: Gothic Horrors expands the game with a darker set of challenges for groups of up to six players.
