ABYSS is one of the two major gameplay Expansions available for Chronicle X. It adds Underwater gameplay, three new miniatures (one Ralavar Streamcaller and two Ralavar Waterbounds), and various cards, tokens and Map Tiles.
ERRATA FROM ARCHON REGARDING ABYSS: Oxygen Levels and Oxygen Tracker, page 6: Add the following paragraph as first: "At the beginning of an Abyss Mission, set all Oxygen Trackers to 6, and place Oxygen Tokens on the relevant O2 squares with their O2 Tank side up.". After the sentence "Sea Pod can only move once per round.", add the following in the same paragraph: "The Sea Pod occupies 4 squares, and may hold up to 4 Heroes on normal base or 1 on a large base. Moving onto or out of the Sea Pod costs 1 movement point, and Heroes may move onto or out of it from any adjacent square."
Expansion
There are a number of Expansions for Chronicle X. There are two major gameplay expansions:
- TWILIGHT AT AREA 51, adding three Alien Models of a new Alien Type Grey Tall Men, various cards and tokens, and 28 new Map Tiles.
- ABYSS, adding three Alien Models of two different types: one Ralavar Streamcaller and two Ralavar Waterbounds, various cards and tokens, 16 Underwater Map Tiles, and added rules for Underwater play.
Both of those Expansions also comes with an extended rulebook with some extra rules for features introduced in the campaign, plus a tiny Mission Book for Narrative Mode, useful as an introduction to the new game rules.
There was also a rather large Stretch Goals Box which provided a large number of additional Hero Models, many more Alien Models, and various other stuff.
Additionally, there is a [Solo/Co-Operative mode|Co-Operative Mode] Expansion, and a number of packs with additional Alien Types providing a wider range of choices for how to build the Alien Forces.
