The Wind Expansion is the first to significantly expand the roster of generals in Sanguosha. This set introduces 10 new characters, each designed to enhance the dynamics of the battlefield. Each country gains 2 new generals to bolster their ranks, while a new alignment—Gods—emerges, bringing with it 2 divine and awe-inspiring warriors. These new additions not only increase the variety of characters but also create deeper, more complex interactions between generals, raising the number of strategic possibilities and making each game even more unpredictable.
A major new mechanic is also introduced in this expansion: Flipping the General Card. This mechanic adds a fresh tactical layer to the gameplay. While flipping a general can result in skipping a turn, the trade-off is access to powerful abilities that can dramatically shift the tide of battle. Whether players utilize this mechanic to gain powerful advantages or as a form of punishment for their opponents, the ability to flip opens up new avenues for combos and strategic timing.
This expansion challenges players to think carefully about timing, combos, and the cost-benefit of powerful actions, ultimately enriching the tactical depth of the game.
