About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of Archon and feel like your city needs a bit more life (and more strategic headaches), then this Kickstarter stretch reward pack is calling your name! This isn'-t a standalone game, but rather a massive-flavor boost designed to spice up your-already intense-sessions of glory and machination.

What's inside the box? You're getting a collection of 15 brand-new tiles that act as new landmarks on your board, along-side four rule cards to help you integrate them seamlessly. We're talking about a variety of locations like Chapels, Taverns, Trade Houses, Weaponsmiths, and even a Library! These aren't just pretty pictures; they represent new strategic avenues and-potentially-new ways to optimize your-ever-so-careful-economy.

For the hardcore strategists who love worker placement and hand management, these tiles add that extra layer of decision-making that keeps a game feeling fresh. Do you pivot your strategy toward the Armory, or do you focus on-the-long-game at the Gallery? The possibilities expand significantly. Just a friendly reminder: you absolutely need the Archon base game to actually use these goodies. It's the ultimate way to upgrade your-already epic-medieval-empire-building-experience!
