The Barbarian Expansion explores one of Shu's most ambitious military campaigns: Zhuge Liang’s southern expedition to bring peace to the frontier. This unofficial yet well-regarded expansion introduces 9 new generals, each inspired by the tribal leaders and warriors encountered during the campaign. These characters are defined by their wild strength, cunning tactics, and unique ties to the Shu kingdom.
Each general in this expansion holds a special connection with Shu, offering unique advantages—but that power comes with a price. Their abilities often come with a trade-off, making timing and teamwork crucial to their success. The interactions open the door to high-risk, high-reward strategies that reward thoughtful play.
In addition to the new generals, this expansion also brings new weapons and introduces a new basic card that can be seamlessly added to the standard deck. These new additions keep gameplay dynamic, surprising, and more varied than ever.
The Barbarian Expansion is ready to shuffle in right away—no rule changes or special setup needed. It enriches Sanguosha with fresh strategies, tribal power, and clever mechanics that bring a fierce new energy to the table.
