Barrage - The Leeghwater Project Available to Pre-order

We are super excited to see the latest expansion for Barrage to be getting so much hype! The base game is absolutely incredible, it is a resource management strategic game in which players compete to build their majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity, and deliver all the potential power through pressure tunnels connected to the energy turbines of their powerhouses. Each player represents one of the four international companies who are gathering machinery, innovative patents and brilliant engineers to claim the best locations to collect and exploit the water of a contested Alpine region crossed by rivers.

The battle for water control becomes even more intense, a new protagonist looks out from the top of the mountain. The Leeghwater Project introduces a new faction to the basic game; play as Ellen Vos, from the Netherlands, ready to follow in the footsteps of Jan Leeghwater. Use the external Works mechanics, a set of powerful tiles that can be obtained from a new action space, and the personal building mechanic that will offer a combination of five building tiles, each one with a different powerful effect. Take advantage of Two new executive officers and Three new advanced technology tiles dedicated to the construction of personal buildings.

What's added in the Barrage - The Leeghwater Project:

  • A new faction, the Netherlands, that uses Jan Leeghwater's expertise in water management, adding even more water to your dams.
  • The External Works mechanic, a set of powerful tiles that can be obtained from a new action space. With them, you'll be able to perform many actions, but be careful. To unlock the External Works power you'll need to burn the required amount of Concrete Mixers and Excavators rather than just assign them to the Construction Wheel.
  • The Personal Building mechanics. You'll be able to use a combination of five Building tiles, each one with a different, powerful effect that can be activated by your engineers.
  • Two new Executive Officers designed to enhance the External Works and the Personal Buildings.
  • Three new Advanced Technology tiles dedicated to the construction of Personal Buildings.

The Leeghwater Project is due for release in March 2021. If this new expansion sounds like it would be right up your street then check it out below!
