About the game
If you've already mastered the art of guiding your civilization through the ages in the base Historia game, get ready to level up your strategy! The Capitals expansion is designed to add a fresh layer of tactical depth to your journey from early humanity to the Singularity.

This expansion introduces 7 new Capital tiles and 14 Treasure tokens, bringing a whole new dimension to your empire-building. Building a capital isn'-t just about claiming territory; it's about securing a source of wealth. These Treasure tokens act as a specialized resource that you can spend to trigger unique abilities and powerful special powers, giving you more flexibility in how you manage your civilization's growth.

Whether you are focusing on military dominance, technological breakthroughs, or economic-driven expansion, the ability to leverage these capitals can be the deciding factor in your victory. You'll need to decide when to expand your borders and when to consolidate your power by establishing these-key-hubs. It integrates seamlessly with the existing mechanics of area majority and simultaneous action selection, making it feel like a natural evolution of the game rather than a forced addition. If you want more ways to manipulate the board and more tools to outsmart your opponents, this expansion is a must-have for your collection!
