This video was great, especially since I was unaware of all 5 of these expansions. This was like a news article for me. :) I'm now most looking forward to TIME Stories, but also the Jabba' s palace expansion to Imperial Assault and the Mansions of Madness expansion.
I'm very late to "Hero Realms"... the base game and character packs will be delivered from Cool Stuff tomorrow. News of further support for the game is welcome! I believe "The Networks" will also have an expansion this year, which will be cool.
Expedition Endurance is already available in Europe, so I've already played it. And I can tell you: it's amazing! I still like asylum the best, but Endurance is a close second for me. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
Just fyi - Endurance is a real ship and expedition led by Earnest Shackleton - one of the coolest 'survivor' stories ever - highly recommend the documentary.
I can't wait for the cry havoc expansion. I wonder how much the new options for the different factions will affect their play style? Particularly the pilgrims have such a set way to play I wonder how much you could alter their path to victory.
For me what I'm highly anticipating expansion wise is the Euphoria expansion, the Between Two Cities expansion, Time Stories expansion but not as much as the current expansions getting back to a price that's not 3x RRP, along with some Arkham Horro LCG and Mansions of Madness expansions.
McBehrer There's two, I think - A Euphoria expansion which has been in developement for a while now and which according to Stonemaier's monthly newsletter is currently expected this year, and the Leaders of Euphoria social deduction game that seems to basically be a rethemed Good Cop Bad Cop Second Edition and which was on Kickstarter late last year.
My #1 is XenoShyft Dreadmire and all the expansions that come with. I know the kickstarters came out a while back, but I have a late pledge so I'm still waiting on it...
I like you Sam am waiting on the Hero Realms stuff to come in from Kickstarter. I love Hero Realms! It's really going to make it a 10 out of 10 in my book. I have been playing it with my daughter a lot with the character packs. I did not know about the Jamaica expansion. That looks great. Thanks Sam, keep up the great work.
Tom recently talked about this game. The initial print run was very very small, and they were not even gonna make more. Because of the demand, perhaps because of the Dice Tower, plans changed.
I am only looking forward to 3 expansions. There may be a couple I would be interested in, but I don't own the base game. There also are expansions I hope to play which I haven't tried yet, and expansions that are already out which I don't own yet. But for now, for this list, I have 3, these are not in any order: The Sheriff Of Nottingham: This game has been a HUGE hit for my non-gaming family. I like it as well, but not as much as them. But we have a large extended family that wants to play, so I need the expansion for a higher player count. Colt Express: This game may be the most played game of mine in 2016 and is quite popular. It is my 6th favorite game. There are 2 expansions coming out, one is already in Europe I believe, and that is Marshal & Prisoners. I have mixed feelings about this one, because It does NOT sound interesting to me. However, it took 3 plays for me to enjoy the last expansion and now it's essential, and would not like Colt Express as much as I do without it. However, the Indians & Cavalry expansion sounds better, but I know less about it, in fact nothing. Jamaica: Like Sam, I enjoy Jamaica, and it's fairly popular among my family. Adding more sounds fun!
I want to say the Egyptian themed one...but it's been so long. I remember liking the original scenario (with some caveats), the fantasy scenario, and the Marcy Case. But the Egyptian one just fell flat.
I knew as soon as I said it, and again during editing, that the misdirection would be noticed. I've always lived in the southern US (for the most part)...so, anything that has that much ice and snow has got to be north of where I am...lol!

I'm also super pumped for the Hero Realms Campaign. Hopefully it'll go overdrive and be supported.
Great list! I am looking forward to the Expansion for Heroes of Normandy as well.
"Lumen Fidei" Time Stories will be 2017 too. Medieval Spain sounds like a great setting...
I am aware of that new scenario, but the Expedition one just sounds more interesting to me.
Stephane Renaut And to be fair Endurance was meant to be 2016 so there's no guarantee we'll see both in 2017. 😁

What you're really saying is that Tom put expansions on his top 10 anticipated games for 2017 list didn't he? :P
yogibbear We all know he did
I really like the understated intro. The personalized songs were mildly offputting.

the Euphoria one isn't actually an expansion, I think. it's a separate game set in the same universe.

Now that's cool. I didn't know about that! I'll have to look into that!
Hope you can get your hands on Expedition: Endurance very soon. It arrived here (in Belgium) just before Christmas.
I am looking forward to the T.I.M.E Stories expansion and the Jamaica expansion too!
Main thing I'm excited for this year expansion wise is the final Sentinels of the Multiverse expansion.
GRex7777 Assuming it comes this year...
Last I knew it still was. Havent heard of any delays.
Nah, playtesting is just taking fucking forever
Eh, whenever it comes out, it's still what I'm looking forward to the most, mostly cause it's the only game I own that has planned expansions. lol
My #1 is XenoShyft Dreadmire and all the expansions that come with. I know the kickstarters came out a while back, but I have a late pledge so I'm still waiting on it...
My top 3 are...
1. Sheriff of Nottingham Expansion
2. Letters From Whitechapel: Dear Boss
3. Mysterium 2nd Expansion
I, too am highly looking forward to the Sheriff of Nottingham Expansion.
I'm interested in getting into Hero Realms. Do I need to get multiple copies of the character packs?
I wouldn't say so, unless you just wanted to...but it definitely isn't a necessity.
Cool. Thanks Sam!
I like you Sam am waiting on the Hero Realms stuff to come in from Kickstarter. I love Hero Realms! It's really going to make it a 10 out of 10 in my book. I have been playing it with my daughter a lot with the character packs.
I did not know about the Jamaica expansion. That looks great.
Thanks Sam, keep up the great work.
geeze, how many years between Jamaica came out and got an expansion?

which one was your last time stories scenario?
I want to say the Egyptian themed one...but it's been so long. I remember liking the original scenario (with some caveats), the fantasy scenario, and the Marcy Case. But the Egyptian one just fell flat.
Sam Healey ah, Under the Mask. no spoilers, haven't played it yet!
it's the only one we haven't played yet. maybe we should never open the box of the egyptian one :D
I think you should go for it. Just because he didn't like it doesn't mean you won't.
looking forward to Mysterium expansion 2
No Rum & Bones 2nd tide? :-(
Not an expansion, really...it's a second edition.
That's a good list.
"Pandemic: Legacy, Season 2" doesn't qualify as an expansion? Interesting...
Why would it? It's a standalone game that probably can't be combined with season 1 in any way.
"Up in Antarctica"? I think you mean "down"....
I knew as soon as I said it, and again during editing, that the misdirection would be noticed. I've always lived in the southern US (for the most part)...so, anything that has that much ice and snow has got to be north of where I am...lol!
too bad the humans are overpowered and the machines are underpowered in Cry Havoc :(
