Introducing: Expandalones!
New mini-games that are playable with or without the base game
While Escape From Bomber Bay's base game that comes with the vinyl is a fully immersive experience, you might find yourself wanting even more! On the other hand, you may decide not to purchase the base game if you don't have a way to listen to vinyl, but still wish to experience the game in some way.
Either way, our limited-quantity Expandalones are the perfect solution for your gaming needs!
Each Expandalone offers a different new and exciting "mini-game" that is ideal for simple yet exciting, faster-pace/quicker games. Each Expandalone has different goals/objectives and includes game pieces and two printed maps to play on!
What Comes With A Purchase?
- Two 10" x 16" foldable maps based on the corresponding songs
- 60+ new, larger game pieces that are usable across ALL Expandalones!
- Instructions/Reference Card unique to that Expandalone
What Do These Offer Beyond The Base Experience?
- Cooperative team modes for a wide range of group size
- New character types to choose from (ex: melee, healer, etc.)
- Tighter maps with larger grids allow for much more action off the bat
- Shorter games with great replay value
- UV-coated maps protect from dirt, scratches, moisture & make the maps dry-erase compatible
While each Expandalone has a unique game mode, ALL maps can also be used for Team Deathmatch (2v2 or 3v3 battles) or Battle Royale (Free-For All, Last to Survive) modes!
Read on to see the details of each Expandalone!

Banner Battle!
Maps: The Art of Cloud-Cutting & Reignite
Game Style: Capture the Flag
Players: 4-6
The battle flag is the morale of any army! Call upon your comrades in this team battle to capture the enemy team’s flag, destroying their will!
Will you stay in your base defending the flag? Will your entire team rush the enemy flag together? Will you create chaos mid-field to disrupt the enemy’s plan? Fuse skill, strategy, and a little luck to see who reigns supreme in this Capture the Flag style battle!
Resource Race!
Maps: The Alchemist's Gaze & Chrysanthemums
Game Style: Domination
Players: 4-6
Tensions run high as band members fight to survive on the island! Fight to gain (and keep) control of key resource nodes!
Will you zerg each resource area one by one in full force? Send 3 players to 3 different nodes? Sneak around recapping bases the enemy has taken? You must outsmart the challengers to survive in this Domination style team battle!
Energy Orbs!
Maps: Light the Way & POTEPS
Game Style: King of the Hill
Players: 4-6
Recently, strange energy surges have been materializing. These energies hold tremendous power - a power that could be unstoppable in your hands…or your enemy’s. Ensure your survival by gathering the energy orbs and bringing them to the center of the map to become completely unstoppable!
Will your entire team rush to the center to establish power in numbers before sending someone to grab an orb? Will each of you grab an orb first and then meet in the center? How will you deal with the enemy team also trying to take orbs and dominate the middle? May the best team win in this King of the Hill style battle!
Gold Rush!
Maps: Gold In Your Palms & Connivent
Game Style: Escort
Players: 4-6
You and your team have stumbled upon the ultimate resource - one which can be used to acquire anything you may need - mine carts overflowing with GOLD! They are there for the taking, but unfortunately, you’re not the only ones who have spotted them. Fight to outnumber the enemy team within the cart’s circle in this close-range, fast-paced Escort style brawl!
Destruction!
Maps: The Assassins of Abboneau & Bomber Bay
Game Style: Destruction
Players: 4-6
One surefire way to defeat an enemy is by destroying its defenses. Race to demolish the enemy’s gates and towers while ensuring yours remain in tact!
Will you launch a full-on offensive attack, laying waste to one structure at a time? Will you divide and conquer to spread the enemy’s defenses thin? Will you hang back and defend to foil your enemy’s plans? See who is the best battle tactician in this Destruction style battle!
Capture The Grail!
Maps: I'll See Your Ass at High Noon & Bellvedere
Game Style: Free-For-All
Players: 2-12
Forget the teams, forget cooperation, forget communication. It’s one flag…one central location…every man for himself! Fight to be the one and only combatant to make it back to your base with the flag.
Will you head straight for the flag or attack opponents right off the bat before they can ever even reach the center? Will you let someone else carry the flag (and the target on their back) closer to your base, kill them, and pick up the flag for a short sprint to victory? Enjoy the all-out chaos in this rapid-fire Free-For-All style savagery!
Jailbreak!
Maps: Ghosts of Time & Break This Cage
Game Style: Jailbreak
Players: 2-6
There’s power in numbers, but your numbers are trapped! Free your allies to build your army and overpower the enemy!
Will you attempt to free your allies first to outnumber your enemy? Or will you disrupt their efforts by attacking first, forcing them to focus on survival? The team with the most players on the battlefield rapidly gains the advantage in this Jailbreak style battle!
Rescue!
Maps: Into the Sand & Plissken
Game Style: Rescue
Players: 4-6
You’ve captured the enemy’s General (in this case, the band member)...but they’ve also captured yours! Face off with the enemy team as you attempt to rescue your General and prevent them from rescuing your hostage!
Will you send your best soldier to free your General while the rest stay back and defend? Or would your top fighter be best utilized keeping an eye on the enemy General? Will the entire group go on offense in a race to free the General first? Only you can decide in this Hostage Rescue style battle!
Don't Forget This Enhancement!
Upgrade your base-game's currency! This enhancement removes the need to track gold on a sheet, removes the gold-limit (max 7 gold per player), and adds a layer of fun with 28 tactile, two-sided round gold tokens that you can spend, steal, and hoard for yourself (a strategy to limit your opponents' purchasing power)!
