About the game
Hey gamers! If you're already into the vibe of Ezra and Nehemiah, get ready to level up your experience with this Spielbox expansion pack. It includes 6 new scroll tiles (wood and gold!) that bring a welcome freshness to your game sessions. Right off the bat, you'll score 1 Victory Point (VP) just by adding these beauties to the game. But that's not all: at the end of the game, each set consisting of a flipped Development Tile and a golden space on the Altar Track will earn you an additional 1 VP. This expansion also shakes up your wall-building strategy, allowing you to use the benefit of up to 2 different walls each time you prepare for the Sabbath. For those who enjoy resource optimization, the new perk is being able to spend 2 of any material (Cinders, Stone, or Wood) instead of Gold when placing Scribes. And there are more VPs at the end: count your Farmers and Laborers placed during the final Sabbath Preparation step to gain 1 VP for each. Oh, and there's an extra bonus: when placing Stone in the Temple, you gain 1 Silver, and when flipping Development Tiles, you double the immediate reward they offer. It's a neat way to add more strategic layers and victory points without overcomplicating the base game, perfect for those who want more Ezra and Nehemiah without losing the flow.
