It seems this horrible siege is a natural way of life for us now. With no help coming from outside Pogoren, we focus solely on everyday survival. Often in this struggle we forget we are not the most vulnerable. We forget there are the young ones who have lost their mothers and fathers, and it is up to us to give them a chance for future. Any future. The question is – how much will it cost us?
As time passes, old grudges and grievances resurface among city inhabitants. There are people ready to play on such hatred that can be found only among long-time neighbors. Grazni soldiers are more numerous these days, while rumors about Vyseni freedom fighters infiltrating the city can be heard on the streets almost every day.
With Pogoren’s resources already stretched so deadly thin, shall we survive another outbreak of hostilities?
Days of the Siege is the second expansion for This War of Mine: The Board Game, a story-rich game of survival in a war-torn city.
Inside the box you will find:
Forlorn Hope, a story-driven, 3-act War Campaign featuring: over 750 new scripts; a new board with the Map of Pogoren; a set of completely new rules; over 50 new tokens. Choose your strategy and make dramatic choices affecting the future of the city; learn new rules and face challenges of survival, with your group caught in between Vyseni rebels and Grazni soldiers
New cards featuring unique content for the War Campaign, as well as new Locations that can be added to the base Location deck to give you more Scavenging options in every playthrough
Orphans of War module with 2 miniatures, Kid Action cards and Fittings to offer you a unique perspective on the well-being of children in a war-torn city
4 Soldier miniatures to use during the War Campaign
Dog miniature and card so that you may add an animal companion to your group or use the components with dedicated scripts
Days of the Siege will give you a unique opportunity to experience a truly epic narrative and choose you role in events that are about to change the fate of Pogoren forever.
Winds of war are blowing your way. Will you weather them?

I bought this as a victim of very carefully targeted advertising, but I like this. Breaks a single TWOM game session into a bit shorter portions and brings the continuity arch, even if only a 3 scenario campaign. I was slightly worried about replayability, but it still seems ok. And this brings in the map of the city, which complicates scavenging, but not too much. With the map I somehow get an Arkham Horror -vibe. So as a dark themed game, I would say TWOM surpasses Arkham.

Another superb expansion in a thrilling analogue 'reality sim' with a dark and compelling theme and the hope of another dawn. My only criticism is how awkward the horizontal board expansion makes the layout, and some players will need a larger table.

The map fleshes out the game in ways that should have truly been a part of the base game. The Orphans module is definitely a challenging add-on. However, the game truly shines in the Campaign mode with more mechanics introduced for point-to-point movement on a map. This expansion completes the video-game adaption of the game for sure.
