About this expansion

Unsettled: Gniir is the ninth planet box for Unsettled, designed for 2–4 players with an approximately 90-minute play time. Released in 2023, it transports you to a frozen world where survival means facing more than the brutal cold.

Gniir is a frost-goth world of ice and stone, shaped by an eerie sense of uncertainty. Monolithic ruins rise in the distance, preserved in the freezing landscape and disturbingly quiet. Every moment carries the feeling that something is present, even though it cannot be seen.

The unseen presence seems woven into the planet itself. You may sense it in the howling wind, in the drifting snow, and in the spaces around you—or even inside you. This atmosphere makes Gniir a setting defined by unease, silence, and constant uncertainty.

Finding shelter is central to the challenge, but the dangers extend beyond the elements. The resources you need are available, yet they can be found only in places where you cannot survive. Reaching what you need means confronting a difficult problem and working out how to endure it.

  • A frozen planet of ice, stone, and monolithic ruins
  • An unseen presence that haunts the landscape
  • Resources located in places too dangerous to survive
  • A 90-minute experience for 2–4 players

With its stark setting and unsettling premise, Unsettled: Gniir offers a distinctive planetary journey centered on shelter, scarcity, and the fear of what cannot be seen.
