How to Use the Vestige Map Region Module in Your Campaign

Quick answer

To use the Vestige Map Region Module, shuffle its tiles into your exploration deck, draw and place them as your campaign reaches new regions, and treat each tile as a fresh tactical layer. Each tile introduces new avenues to leverage and outmaneuver opponents, making every session feel like uncharted territory. If you own the Chronicles expansion, sleeve the large cards with the 69x120mm sleeves before your first game.

What the module adds to your campaign

The Vestige Map Region Module is a tile pack that expands the map during play. Instead of a fixed board, you draw from a stack of region tiles. Every tile introduces new avenues to leverage and outmaneuver opponents, making each session feel like uncharted territory. That means the module is less about a one-time setup and more about a repeatable process: draw, place, adapt, and keep the map from becoming a static puzzle.

Step 1: Sort and shuffle the region tiles

Before your first session, separate the Map Region Module tiles from any other map components and give them a thorough shuffle. If you are mixing in other Vestige map content, decide whether the module tiles go on top, on the bottom, or interleaved. The common mistake is shuffling once and then never re-randomizing between sessions, which lets players memorize the order. Re-shuffle at the start of each campaign session.

Step 2: Place tiles when exploration triggers

Follow your campaign's exploration trigger. When a region is revealed, draw the top tile and place it adjacent to the existing map, matching any printed edges or connection points. Do not force a tile to fit a spot it was not designed for. If a tile cannot legally connect, set it aside and draw the next one, then shuffle the set-aside tile back in later. Checkpoint: after placement, confirm every player can still trace a path to the new region.

Step 3: Update your tactics after each placement

A new tile is not just scenery; it changes movement, line of sight, and contestable positions. After each placement, pause and let players reassess their plans. The mistake here is rushing to the next action before anyone has accounted for the new avenues the tile opened. A ten-second review prevents the map from becoming background art.

Step 4: Store and protect the tiles between sessions

Map tiles get handled far more than most components. Keep them in a dedicated bag or compartment, and avoid stacking heavy rulebooks on top. If your Vestige collection includes the Chronicles expansion, note that its large cards use a different size than standard cards. The Vindication Sleeves (69x120mm) are made for the Chronicles expansion only, and one pack of 100 covers all the large cards in that expansion. Do not buy them expecting to sleeve standard-sized cards.

Vestige Map Region Module setup steps

1. Shuffle the region tiles: Separate the Map Region Module tiles from other map components, shuffle them thoroughly, and decide how they mix with any other map content. Re-shuffle at the start of every session so the order stays unpredictable.
2. Draw and place on exploration: When a region is revealed, draw the top tile and place it adjacent to the existing map, matching printed edges or connection points. If a tile cannot legally connect, set it aside, draw the next one, and shuffle the set-aside tile back in later.
3. Reassess tactics: After each placement, let players review movement, line of sight, and contestable positions created by the new tile. A short pause keeps the new avenues from being ignored.
4. Protect the components: Store tiles in a dedicated bag or compartment, and if you own the Chronicles expansion, sleeve its large cards with the 69x120mm sleeves. One pack of 100 sleeves covers all the large cards in Chronicles; these sleeves are for that expansion only.

Product facts

• Vestige™ Map Region Module: Every tile introduces new avenues to leverage and outmaneuver opponents, making each session feel like uncharted territory. This is the core reason to add the module: it keeps exploration meaningful instead of decorative, so plan for tactical reassessment after each draw.
• Vindication® Sleeves (69x120mm): Each pack comes with 100 Crystal Clear Premium 69mm x 120 mm sleeves, and these particular sleeves are for the CHRONICLES EXPANSION ONLY. You will only need 1 pack of 100 to sleeve all the large cards in Chronicles. If you own the Chronicles expansion, one pack is enough for its large cards, but these sleeves will not fit standard-sized cards, so check your card sizes before buying.
