Snails: Fire in the Shell

About this expansion

Snails: Fire in the Shell is a 2025 expansion for 2–4 players that adds new factions, terrain, rules, and combat possibilities to the 60-minute game of rival snail squads.

Gastropodia’s surrounding waters have given rise to new islands, while powerful leaders and battle-hardened soldiers join the struggle for domination. Cyborgs, Mobsters, Druids, and Knights enter the fray, each bringing new ways to approach the fight through unique special abilities and action cards.

This expansion makes battles larger with additional terrain tiles that enable even bigger confrontations. Tiles can conceal new rewards and threats, adding further surprises as squads crawl through the battlefield.

• New factions: Cyborgs, Mobsters, Druids, and Knights expand the forces available for combat.
• Special abilities and action cards: New faction tools create fresh tactical possibilities.
• Expanded battlefields: Additional terrain tiles support bigger battles and hide rewards or threats.
• Soldier specializations: Individual soldiers gain greater importance within snail squads.
• Wind rules: A sea breeze can carry bullets and grenades farther, potentially redirecting danger toward an unintended target.

Wind can make even an inaccurate shot count, creating the possibility of unexpected hits and changing how players consider attacks. Soldier specializations likewise make each member of a squad more valuable, giving the battlefield’s forces added weight.

With new leaders, weapons of mass destruction, factions, and environmental rules, Snails: Fire in the Shell pushes the series’ chaotic combat into a more expansive and unpredictable conflict. Prepare your shells and crawl into battle for fiery mollusk mayhem.
