Get ready for a new adventure in Carvania with "Century: Golem Edition – Eastern Mountains"! This game invites you to return to the role of a crystal trader, but this time, exploration takes you to the majestic mountains and remote valleys of Carvania. Your ambitious goal: establish a thriving trade network and become the master of crystals. If you're already familiar with the Century series, you'll notice that this edition is a reimplementation of the acclaimed "Century: Eastern Wonders," but with a completely new visual twist, inspired by vibrant manga art. The golems and settings come to life with stunning illustrations, making the experience even more immersive. The gameplay maintains the essence of "pick-up and deliver" and "set collection," with a modular board that ensures each game is unique. You'll move your meeples across a changing map, collecting colorful crystals and delivering them to fulfill contracts and expand your trade empire. The big differentiator is the possibility of combining "Eastern Mountains" with the original "Century: Golem Edition" to unlock a completely new and epic game experience called "The Call for Adventure." This combination offers even more strategic depth and replayability, transforming two great games into something even bigger. It's the perfect choice for those looking for a light eurogame, with easy-to-learn rules, but offering interesting tactical decisions every turn. The beauty of the components and the fluidity of the mechanics make this a title that shines on the table.
