6 Vehicle cards and all the cards for the Joes and enemies

A new Boss with Destro
and another lieutenant in Scrap-Iron
and 3 more Vehicle cards alongside the cards for the new characters.
Exclusives also include a Retro Snake-Eyes figurine based on his 1st figure on a Joe bubble card ( the main set has his more common Ninja look)
and a Vehicle pack including 8 more Vehicle cards
And there is a Red White and Blue Dice pack to sub out the army Green ones.
Base game with the extra Snake Eyes and Vehicle Cards is $ 99 US
All In has the above and the Expansion and a RBW Dice set is $ 145
The set up is practically identical to the Heroes of the Grid Board with a center hub Pit piece and 4 outer quarter circle interchangeable location pieces. Joes have a character ability card and a deck of 10 ability/attack cards that also is their life total. If the deck is completely depleted the Joe is downed and sent back to the pit to recover. The Cobras have deployment cards that tell where the troops or the other higher ups will deploy. Each area has a Panic Level that will trigger once too many troops deploy there. Your main lose condition is if all four locations become panicked at once by the end of your heroes phase. You eventually win by defeating the Boss once he deploys. Beating a number of troops will give you a requisition to draw a vehicle card. These will give the Joes more abilities they can work with.
Going forward judging by what they have done with Power Rangers they will continue expanding by adding more small expansions with more Joes and Lieutenant and above Cobras, and Larger Expansions that could add in more Troopers like Vipers and B.A.T.s. I'd expect them to theme one after Cobra Island early on. Possibly a small Dreadnok expansion. Eventually maybe a Serpentor and Cobra-La one.
