A new threat strikes from the sea. Those just beginning to swim encounter an experienced predator with the cunning and unpredictability of the Orca. A wave crashes to the shore as the sun sets over the water. Which empire will be washed away?

The original critically-acclaimed A War of Whispers is a competitive board game for 2 to 4 players. Five mighty empires are at war for the world, but you are no mighty ruler. Instead, you play a secret society that is betting on the results of this war while pulling strings to rig the results and ensure their bets pay off. A War of Whispers is a game of deep strategy, hidden agendas, and shifting loyalties.

A War of Whispers: Expansion of Influence is a new expansion that introduces multiple new gameplay elements, including:

•Rebalanced setup rules.

•The Orca Clan, an island nation of raiders that disrupts coastal plans, activating after the Horse Empire.

•The Guilds, which provide unique agent abilities, activating before the Bear Empire.

•A fifth player, whose secret society is called the Sparrow Underground. To play with a fifth player, both the Orca Clan and Guilds must also be included for sufficient agent placement options.

•A double-sided board with customized scenarios and alternate setup rules for endless replayability.
