Choose from a variety of new civilizations, pursue individual achievements
to add landmarks to your capital city, and sneakily interact with the opposition
in this first expansion for Tapestry.
INITIAL SETUP
Shuffle the new civilization mats and tapestry cards into
the original components. Place all original territory tiles
in the exploration bag (there aren’t any new territory
tiles in this expansion). Replace the original space tile
with the corrected tile as noted on the punchboard, and
shuffle that tile and the 4 new tiles into the original
stack of space tiles.
Optional: Place the 12 landmark tokens on their
corresponding spaces on the advancement tracks.
These serve as reminders for which landmarks are still
available.
At the end of your turn, if you have
at least 6 in your supply, gain
this landmark. PP

NEW TAPESTRY CARDS
Of the 15 new tapestry cards, 9 are self-explanatory. Among the others, “Entertain
the Masses” is the first tapestry card paired with a specific landmark. The
remaining 5 are sneaky, trap-like cards that can be played during conquer actions or
as regular tapestry cards.
The core game rulebook says that “if an opponent plays a trap card as you attempt to
conquer the middle island, you do not gain this achievement,” referencing the “conquer
middle island” achievement. This also applies to the new tapestry card “Surprise
Party”.
If the tapestry deck ever runs out and there are discarded tapestry cards, shuffle them
to form a new deck. Otherwise, if there are no discarded cards, players cannot draw
more cards.
SETUP CHANGES
Landmark Cards: After selecting the 1st player at the end of
regular setup, the player going last draws landmark cards
equal to the number of players, selects 1, and places it in
their player area. Then they pass the others counterclockwise
for the next player to select. Continue until each player has
chosen a landmark card. Each player places the corresponding
landmark miniature on or near their selected card.
During the game, at the end of one of their turns when a
player accomplishes the goal on their landmark card, they gain
the landmark and place it in their capital city.
Designer’s Note: These landmark
cards are designed to give each player
a short-term goal in the first half of
the game (instead of adding variable
global achievements). This mechanism
scales better for all player counts
than other mechanisms I considered
for adding new landmarks, and it also
enables more landmark cards to be
added in the future.
Designer’s Note: My goal with these
new tapestry cards—beyond adding
more cards, because that’s fun—was
to add a little zest to conquering.
Tapestry isn’t a combat game, but I still
want to give players opportunities to
feel sneaky and clever when they’re
interacting on the map. flfl
WHEN PLAYED:
If played as a tapestry, gain 10 or .
SURPRISE PARTY
You may discard this from your hand when an opponent
tries to conquer your territory if you are further advanced
on the military track than they are (you can’t also play
a trap). If you do, topple their outpost and gain

15.

NEW SPACE TILES
One of the new space tiles is paired with a specific landmark, the Monolith. The
others read, “Whenever you advance on the ______ track, gain 5 VP.”
Designer’s Note: Some of the
constructive criticism I heard about
Tapestry is that there aren’t enough
ongoing benefits. This particularly hit
home in terms of the space tiles—
you’ve made it all the way to outer
space, and all you get is a one-time
benefit?! Hence the addition of these 3
tiles. There isn’t a corresponding tile for
the exploration track because players
typically only gain space tiles at the
end of that track, rendering an ongoing
benefit largely useless.
Note: There are abilities and cards in Tapestry that allow you to advance a great distance in
a single turn. That still counts as a single “advance.”
NEW CIVILIZATIONS
Like all other new components in this expansion, the new civilization mats are
designed to be shuffled in with the original mats. However, there are 10 of them,
enough to be used for the initial selection in a 5-player game if you so choose.
NEW TIEBREAKER
Replacing the original tiebreaker rule, the new tiebreaker is the player with the
tallest landmark miniature in their capital city.
Designer’s Note: While some of the new civilizations are simply my attempts to add
some twists to Tapestry, others have specific goals based on feedback I’ve heard about
the core game. For example, the Treasure Hunters hopefully address a desire from
some players for the terrain types to have more meaning in the game. Most notable are
the Utilitarians, who can gain ongoing benefits from a few of their landmarks. This is
something many players have asked for, though we found in the original playtesting that
it is extremely difficult for players to remember to use ongoing benefits. In this way, I
welcome players to choose civilizations that match their personalities and preferences,
even if this means not choosing them at random.
