Alexandria: Board Game Shelf Promo

Hey folks! If you're a fan of Alexandria and always on the lookout for little extras to spice up your game, check out this promo! The "Board Game Shelf" is a tile that replaces a random furniture tile from the base game. The twist is that it adds a tricky condition: when a hero enters a room with the board game shelf and there's already another hero present, all nearby heroes lose time. It's the kind of thing that can turn the game around if you're not careful!

This little expansion came with the 2017 Brettspiel Adventskalender, so it's a bit of a rare find for collectors. The 'Take That' mechanic becomes more prominent with this time-loss interaction, and managing action points and your hand remains crucial to avoid falling into this trap. If you enjoy Alexandria and want to add an element of more direct interaction and an extra challenge that can disrupt your plans, this piece is for you. It's a small addition, but it can create moments of tension and unexpected twists. The rules are provided on a tile and in a pamphlet, both in English and German, but the impact on the game is straightforward and easy to grasp. It's one of those extras that make a difference for players who have already mastered the base game and are seeking new strategies and challenges.
