If you've already mastered the trade routes of the Roman Empire in Concordia and are craving more challenges, get ready: Aegyptus / Creta has arrived to shake up your board! This expansion brings two brand-new maps, each with its own peculiarities that will make you think twice before each move. In Aegyptus, the legendary Nile River isn't just for show; it provides extra food with each annual flood, a bonus that can turn the game around. And for those who enjoy a little extra luxury, you can trade frankincense and gold for cash and victory points at the end of the game. Over in Creta, the map is more compact, featuring only twenty cities spread across nine provinces – one of which is a standalone case with a single city. This space limitation promises tighter and more competitive games, especially when played with four or five players. Both maps are designed to offer a slightly longer gameplay experience but physically take up less space than previous expansions, a relief for smaller tables. Oh, and the personality card display is now separate from the main map, with an extra side that introduces additional costs, adding another strategic layer. It's the dose of novelty your Concordia needed!
