"Tension and fear are palpable in Pogoren. Soldiers of the occupying forces continue to disappear, militia units hide in abandoned buildings, and anxious citizens prepare for the worst. It seems that another conflict is about to erupt. No one knows who will attack first, and the international peacekeeping forces remain coldly neutral. The number of orphans is steadily rising, as hardship and violence continue to kill adults. Will the players be willing to risk their survival to help the children?"

Pendragon Game Studio has announced the second expansion for This War of Mine: The Board Game, Under Siege, a survival title with a strong narrative component, set in a war-torn city. The expansion adds a plethora of new content that will lead players to experience a total war overwhelming Pogoren.

In this second expansion for This War of Mine, players will find themselves embroiled in a fierce struggle within the city. Over the course of three intense Acts of the War Campaign “Without Hope”, players must not only find a way to survive the new siege but also confront the chaos and brutality of a never-ending war. Additionally, the War Orphans module, which introduces children without families, will elevate the gaming experience to a new level, while new Locations will enrich each Scenario and Campaign of the base game and other expansions. The winds of war are blowing towards you. Will you be able to withstand?

Inside the box, you will find:

Choose your strategy and make difficult decisions that will influence the future of Pogoren. Learn new rules and face real survival challenges, with your group caught in the midst of the struggle between the Vyseni rebels and the Grazni soldiers.
• New Cards, with unreleased content for the war campaign, as well as new locations that can be added to those of the base game, providing greater exploration options for each game.
• War Orphans module, with two miniatures and action cards for the children, offering players a unique perspective on the survival of the youngest in a war-torn city.
• 4 Soldier Miniatures to use during the war campaign.
