Board game expansion Asmodee / Godot Games — Among Cultists: Mountains of Chaos (map expansion, new mechanics, secret roles)

Among Cultists: Mountains of Chaos is an expansion for the Among Cultists board game by Godot Games (distributed by Asmodee) that adds a new map and fresh mechanics to extend scenarios for 2–6 players. The expansion introduces an interactive mountainous environment with sealed mines, rotating doors and elevator systems that change movement and spatial options during a session, together with new secret roles that alter player objectives and social dynamics.

Advantages

This map expansion increases replayability by offering a modular, dynamic play area where terrain and access routes change as players interact with revolving doors and elevators. New secret roles provide asymmetric objectives and hidden information, supporting deduction and bluffing while preserving the core rules of Among Cultists. The set integrates mechanically with existing scenarios to deepen strategic planning and narrative possibilities without requiring major rule overhauls.

Suitable for

• Players looking to extend Among Cultists campaigns with new maps and scenario variety
• Groups who enjoy hidden-role, social deduction and asymmetric objectives
• Gaming sessions that benefit from dynamic map elements and variable access routes
• 2–6 player setups that want increased narrative and strategic depth

Key specifications

• Type: map expansion for a social-deduction board game
• New mechanics: revolving doors and elevators that affect movement and line-of-sight
• Content focus: interactive map tiles and cards introducing secret roles and scenario elements
• Players supported when combined with base game: 2–6 players
• Intended audience: adults and children able to play the base game

How to use

Combine this expansion with the Among Cultists base game and follow the included setup instructions to replace or add map tiles and integrate the new role cards into scenario setup. During play, use the rotating doors and elevator mechanisms as described in the expansion rules to modify available paths and impact player movement; secret roles are shuffled into role decks or distributed according to scenario guidance. No additional core rule changes are required beyond the expansion’s specific rules and scenario instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use the Mountains of Chaos expansion to refresh established campaigns and to introduce variability to short one-shot sessions. For best results, ensure all players read the new role descriptions before the game starts and try a short tutorial round to familiarise the group with revolving door and elevator interactions.
