About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a seasoned explorer in Longsdale, get ready to add a new master to your table! Expedition to Newdale: The Pfistries isn's a standalone game, but a focused expansion designed to spice up your base game experience with new strategic layers. The star of the show is Master Pfister, a new character card that introduces a unique-to-him mechanic involving Pfistry cards.

In practical terms, this expansion brings new building options to your display. These 'Pfistry' buildings act as a clever production chain: they allow you to link resources like grain and coal to produce bread, which is a fantastic way to rack up victory points. It's all about that sweet resource conversion and optimizing your engine. This expansion doesn't try to overhaul everything, but instead provides fresh tactical choices and new ways to play your hand. If you enjoy tight economic management and finding clever synergies between your cards and buildings, this little expansion is a must-have to keep your-expeditions feeling fresh and challenging!
