The Clockwork Expansion 2 is a standalone expansion that lets you square off against four automated factions. Add one to round out a game with few players, or team up in cooperative play!

Each bot has four difficulty levels and four trait cards, giving them special powers and strategic quirks. Also included is a new Better Bot trait card for each faction from the first Clockwork Expansion.

This is an expansion. It requires the Root board game as well as one or both of The Riverfolk Expansion and The Underworld Expansion.

Took me a couple games to get the hang of the automa flow, but once I did, adding a fourth bot to a three-player session felt almost like playing against a human. The cooperative mode is where this really shines for me, though—teaming up against two of them together is a blast.

The four bot factions feel genuinely distinct—the Autobot’s resource-grabbing pace keeps me on my toes even when it’s just me and a friend. Setting one up to fill a seat at a three-player table solved our group’s awkward gap perfectly, and the solo co-op option is a nice bonus I didn’t expect to use

Co-op mode is where this really shines—my group of two finally feels like a full table, and the bot turns are quick enough that we’re not waiting around. The four factions each play so differently that we’ve already run three games in a row trying them all.
