About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Ready to give your City of Iron: Second Edition an extra boost? This mini-expansion, 'Contracts,' comes with 8 cards that were a nice bonus for Kickstarter backers. The concept is straightforward: at the start of the game, each of us secretly chooses one of these cards. They act as contracts, giving you a secret objective to fulfill. If, by the end of the game, you possess the goods, coins, and science specified on the card, congratulations! You earn extra influence, which can potentially swing the game in your favor. It's a cool way to add an extra layer of strategy and a touch of surprise to your games. It doesn't drastically alter the core experience, but it adds a little extra flavor for those who already enjoy the base game and want more customization options and secret objectives. Think of it as a special bonus that encourages you to focus on certain aspects during play, making each game a bit more unpredictable and rewarding. Perfect for those who enjoy having hidden goals and competing for every point of influence!
