The White Death box contains a lot of D.E.I. additional materials, divided into expansion modules. It's up to you choose which module and how many modules to add to your games in order to experience new
scenarios. Each chapter in this manual will give you all the info about how to add the new module in the
best way possible.
New factions
The Wild – Wolves and polar bear that subs out drone cards.
The Fauns - absorbs bases – solo faction
Psionics – 5 leaders no scrappers.
The industrial market – subs out black market
This Market introduces brand-new Action cards, focused on Constructions and a new Unit called the Machines. The Industrial Market has no color associated with it, and is not connected to any Outposts. It
replaces the Black Market. During setup, replace the Black Market with the Industrial Market, following the same procedures.
HAL – Big mobile artillery
Slug – Snowplowing tunneling Uber
Ripley – A cherry picker and omasa to aliens
Mercenaries

Alexandra – Collects all resources in a region.
Weather event cards
Weather cards are an optional module that can be used in any D.E.I. game, adding a variable element to each turn.

Old London
The Old London Expansion set allows you to play with a new Faction: the Purebred. Players could use the Purebred in every D.E.I. game, except for The Citadel Mode found in the The Citadel Expansion set. Also, this expansion introduces the Campaign mode, that consists of a linked set of Scenarios where you will face your opponents in order a competition down the Old London power base... the dreaded Purebred. The Campaign scenarios introduce changes to the Base
game rules and additional game elements, which can also be used in the following D.E.I. modes: The
River, Vengeance Mode and Challenge & Alliance
Objective Cards (8)
Debris tokens (14)
Vengeance board (1)
Vengeance cards (12)
Big Ben District (1)
Big Ben - 3D model (1)
River District (4)
Neutral Bridge token (1)
London Bridge District (1)

Purebred game elements
New faction Purebred
Vengeance Mode – alt scoreboard BB and 4 tiles.
In Vengeance mode, you must use the Big Ben District to tell the Purebred those opponents that fail respect the law, triggering retaliation against them. TLDR – If you have majority in the Big Ben area you can play a card that effects all the other factions in a negative way costing them resources.
Thames Module – bridge and river tiles
Adds the water feature either for game play or as part of the campaign with a few more rules.
C&A Mode – just rules
Challenge & Alliance (C&A) are 2 new rules introduced in the Campaign mode (in certain Scenarios). Also, these rules can be used in a regular D.E.I. game. Not quite coop as the alliance can be broken.
Campaign Mode
The Campaign mode allows for competitive play for 2, 3, or 4 players, each one choosing a Faction and controlling for the 7 Scenarios of the Campaign. One player MUST choose the Purebred Faction, found in
this Expansion set. The Fauns, Psionics and Wilds Factions, included in the White Death Box, cannot be chosen for the Campaign.
The Citadel
Welcome to the Citadel! The threatening fortress of Purebred rises on the white, snowy desert of Old London and all the Survivor bands intend to break through the walls, hiding and sneaking in as they advance. It will not be easy, the menacing Jaeger guards the Citadel walls, exterminating all the unexpected guests. Who will conquer the Citadel?
5 - Alternative Leaders – can swap base factions and purebred faction.
1 - Drone Jaeger – Purebred shootie drone
The Citadel Mode – Building and 4 tiles. Special mission drone and Achad cards. - King of the hill style play with a pureblood named Achad who will mess with other factions if you
have the resources he wants and an autuma style drone draw that shoots people off the wall. If you
have majority on the walls around the citadel you get to remove scrappers for points.
