About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game fans! If you're already a fan of Golem and looking to spice up your gameplay, this little promo expansion is right up your alley. It introduces 3 new Character cards that inject fresh strategic possibilities into your games. First up is B1, allowing you to utilize the action of an available Rabbi tile already on the board – a great way to optimize your turn. Then we have B2, which lets you move your Golems a total of two steps, advance your marker on the Study track by one step, and activate one Golem. Finally, B3 is for those who love a big play: you can either activate all your Golems simultaneously (without needing to lay them down!) or immediately score 5 VP. This expansion is ideal for players seeking more variety and tactical choices without adding significant complexity. It's the kind of addition that makes you pause and think, 'Hmm, how can I best fit this into my strategy now?' If you're after more flexibility and new strategic avenues in Golem, it's definitely worth checking out. It's a neat way to enhance the base game and keep things engaging, particularly in 3 or 4 player games where every action matters more. It’s one of those little extras that makes you want to dive back into the game again and again.
