About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of Chimera Station and want to spice up your game nights, this mini-expansion is for you! Originally part of the 2017 Brettspiel Adventskalender, it introduces two new interactive tiles: the "Giant Billboard" and the "Underground Clinic." These tiles are mixed into the base game's supply, adding a slightly meaner and more unpredictable edge to the competition for resources and influence on the station. The goal is to make the game a bit more challenging, pushing players to adapt to new dynamics and interactions. It's a cool way to inject fresh life into a game you already know well, without overly complicating the rules. Setup is a breeze: just add the new tiles and you're good to go. Get ready for a slightly spicier and more strategic experience, where every decision can have a greater impact. Ideal for those who have already mastered Chimera Station's worker placement and variable player powers mechanics and are looking for an additional challenge. The addition of these tiles can alter the game's flow, demanding new approaches to achieve victory. If you crave more of that sci-fi flavor with a dash of fierce competition, this promo is a welcome addition to your collection.
