The Tunnel Rats Expansion enhances the Purple Haze core game with a set of brand-new scenarios, mechanics, events, cards, and other components. It adds a new Specialization – Tunnel Rat – and introduces tense and quick melee combat.

Descend beneath the Vietnamese jungle in Purple Haze Tunnel Rats, a standalone narrative wargame featuring three claustrophobic underground scenarios. Lead a small team of US Marines through confined tunnel systems filled with concealed enemies, booby traps and difficult tactical decisions.

Tunnel exploration creates a very different challenge from the open terrain of Purple Haze. Limited visibility and restricted movement force the team to advance carefully, manage equipment and react to threats that may emerge at close range.

New rules introduce fast melee combat, the Tunnel Rat specialisation and weapons designed for fighting underground. Decisions and surviving Marines carry between the three linked scenarios, creating a compact campaign that can be played without the Purple Haze base game.

• Three connected tunnel scenarios: Lead the same Marine team through a focused campaign of escalating underground missions
• New close combat system: Resolve tense melee encounters when enemies appear at extremely short range
• Hidden tunnel dangers: Search for concealed fighters while avoiding traps and other threats within the confined passages
• Tunnel Rat specialisation: Use a new Marine role designed specifically for reconnaissance and combat below ground
• New weapons and events: Encounter equipment, situations and narrative choices created for the underground setting
• Standalone Purple Haze experience: Includes the materials required for its three scenarios without needing the core game
