Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Troglodytes

About this expansion

Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Troglodytes is a faction expansion for Neuroshima Hex, designed for 1–4 players and lasting around 30 minutes. Released in 2020, it introduces a new army with brand-new mechanics and fresh challenges.

The Troglodytes come with a large number of fighting units and Battle tiles. Their defining mechanic is cannibalization: by sacrificing their own units, they earn Satiety markers that affect the faction’s capabilities on the board.

• Greater Satiety allows units to inflict more wounds.
• Satiety can make units faster and more mobile.
• Units with greater Satiety are also more resistant.
• Sacrificing units reduces the faction’s numbers.

This creates a faction that can adapt to the situation on the board while constantly weighing the benefits of stronger units against the cost of losing its own forces. The Troglodytes’ ability to improve their performance through Satiety comes directly from their willingness to consume their own ranks.

That sacrifice also has an important limitation. Depleting the Troglodytes’ numbers can restrict their ability to initiate a Battle, particularly when they occupy an entire board. Their mechanics therefore connect strength, mobility, resistance, and the size of their force.

With its substantial supply of units and Battle tiles, Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Troglodytes adds a distinct faction to the Neuroshima Hex system. Its central Satiety mechanic offers a fresh way to manage units and respond to changing board conditions.
