About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey gamers! Ready to spice up your Belfort game? This promo pack introduces three new guilds designed to shake things up in your worker placement and area majority game. If you already enjoy the thrill of dominating districts and worker types, these additions will give you even more strategic avenues to explore.

The new guilds include: the Contractors' Guild, likely influencing construction and expansion; the Rules Lawyers' Guild, suggesting more tactical interaction with the game's rules; and the Sentries' Guild, possibly involving protection or control over specific points. Each one adds a unique flavor, promising to diversify your playthroughs and push you to devise new tactics to optimize your scores and control the board.

Remember, Belfort already offers a medium-weight experience that demands solid planning. These guilds don't drastically alter the complexity but introduce more paths to victory. The language dependency is minimal, so the language barrier won't be an issue for those already familiar with the core rules. It's an expansion that gets straight to the point, adding more content for players seeking replayability and fresh ways to engage with Belfort's central mechanics. If you're looking for more variety and don't shy away from a little extra strategic thinking each turn, this pack is for you!
