The minions arrive to conquer the HexaDome

Corvus Belli launches Master of Puppets (MoP), a new expansion for their MOBA style board game – Aristeia! For the first time, it will include minions.
The new expansion is composed of two characters (Fiddler and Gaia) with unique characteristics and abilities.
Master of Puppets will be available on June 28th with a retail price of €17.99 ($21.99).

Bueu, May 18, 2019. Corvus Belli presents Master of Puppets (MoP), a new expansion for their game Aristeia!, which expands the options and the versatility of the game with two new characters, each with a new play style and spectacular skills that won't leave players wanting.

Fiddler and Gaia are two highly-skilled women with an amazing aptitude for cyber-electronics. Both had to give up to part of their lives to build a brand new future where they are the only masters of their destiny.

Fiddler left her native Ariadna after a clash with the authorities because of her strong activism. She sought shelter in a nomadic trade mission that offered her asylum in exchange for her engineering skills. There, she was able to transform her physical appearance and switch gender, but soon afterwards she felt the need to go further and take her modifications to a whole new level. Fiddler found in Aristeia! the best way to finance the physical changes that made her a lethal fighter on the sand.

Thanks to her Jackbots, Fiddler is a DPS with a touch of control that can be used both offensively (causing damage) and defensively (making it difficult to access the scoring zones).

Gaia is originally from Varuna. From a very early age, Gaia showed off her skills in robotics that led her to be a model student during her formative years. No one was surprised when she was the elected candidate to enjoy a scholarship in NeoTerra. Quite soon afterwards, she managed to draw the attention of the high spheres, who invited her to fight in Aristeia.

Gaia is a controller support that offers her team unprecedented mobility. She can also control her Enemies, hindering or nullifying their ability to move through her Gorgoneions.

In addition, this expansion brings a totally new mechanics for the Controllers and their Minions, their robotic devices that allow them to take their skills to the new level. This also introduces a new way of exercising control over the HexaDome. Fiddler brings the Jackbots; and Gaia, the Gorgoneions.

Each Aristeia! expansion incorporates 2 Character cards, the 2 Initiative cards, 2 Minion cards, 8 Tactic cards, 2 cards of rules and all the markers needed to play this expansion. It also includes two high-quality pre-assembled plastic miniatures – Corvus Belli seal. There's a total of 58 cards in each box since we incorporate a copy in each of the game's official languages: Spanish, English, German and French.
