And now in more detail about all this.
Expansion:
- «Traders & Builders». Adds new tiles to the game, depicting wine, wheat and cloth. After completing the city, the player receives goods from the tiles. Players who have collected the most goods of one type will receive additional points at the end of the game. The new builder token is used for a double move, and the pig token doubles the points for owning a field.
- «Inns & Cathedrals». Increases the maximum number of players to 6 people. The new tiles feature taverns, which double the reward for completing a road, and cathedrals, which double the reward for completing a city. Unfinished objects with taverns and cathedrals do not score any points at the end of the game. The Great Meeples tile counts as two when determining the owner of a city, road, or field.
Mini-Expansion:
- «The River». Players begin to form a field of river tiles.
- «The Abbot». Abbot tiles appear. Instead of placing a Meeples on their turn, a player can take the Abbot tile from the monastery and score points for the monastery itself and the surrounding tiles.
- «The Crop Circles». Crop Circles tiles appear in the game. Having revealed such a tile, the active player, after performing the standard actions, can either place another meeples on the tile where his meeples are already located, or return any of his meeples to the reserve (the type of circle on the field determines which meeples this applies to - knights in cities, robbers on roads or peasants in fields). Then all other players can also perform one of these two actions.
Additions that can only be found in this edition:
- «The Flying Machines». Players will be able to move their meeples using the flying machines depicted on the tiles - the arrow shows the direction, and the special die - the range.
- «The Messengers». Messenger tokens are added to the victory point track. When a player scores points, he can move either his regular token or the messenger token. Every fifth space on the track, the player takes a random message tile from the stack. The message tile can be used to apply its effect or discarded for two points. At the end of the game, the results of both tiles are added up.
- «The Ferries». Lake tiles appear in the game. When placing a meeples on the road to the lake, the player also places one of the ferry tokens on the lake. The ferry is considered an extension of the road.
- «The Gold Mines». Gold mine tiles appear in the game. When such a tile is revealed, the player places two gold bar tokens - one on the current tile and the other on the adjacent one. After the construction is completed, the ingots go to those players who have more meeples on the object. Collected ingots will bring additional points at the end of the game.
- «Mage & Witch». Two tokens appear in the game - a mage and a witch. When the player reveals a magic tile, he moves the mage or witch to an unfinished city or road. After completing the object, the mage gives one additional point for each square, and the witch takes half the reward.
- «The Robbers». Robber meeples appear in the game. Their tokens are placed on the victory points track. If the owner of a token standing on the same division as the robber receives victory points, he gives half the reward to the owner of this robber.
