Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base game Century: Golem Edition to play with this expansion?
Absolutely! This is an expansion, so it adds new components and rules to the base game Century: Golem Edition. You need to own it to use these bonus cards.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion maintains the same player count as the base game, which is 2 to 5 players. It adds new options for all player counts.
Does the expansion change the base game rules significantly?
Not much. The main addition is two new merchants with a specific mechanic of bringing used cards back to your hand. This adds a strategic layer but doesn't overload the existing rules.
How much playtime does this expansion add?
The expansion shouldn't significantly increase playtime. The base playtime is 30-45 minutes, and the new strategic options tend to optimize plays rather than necessarily prolonging them.
Is this expansion for experienced players or beginners too?
It's good for both! Experienced players will enjoy the new strategies it enables, while beginners can learn with these new options without breaking the game.
What types of components come in this expansion?
Basically, they are new merchant cards that you add to your deck or initial selection, depending on how you play. It's just a few cards, but they have a considerable strategic impact.
