About the game

What you do in a play session

The *Historia: Golden Era* expansion introduces 14 tiles that allow players to accelerate their civilization’s growth for a short period. These tiles are unique: you place them on the board when you want to give a boost, but each one only works for a round. The expansion never hit retail; it was released exclusively on Kickstarter, so only those who backed the campaign received the components. Backers got a separate bag containing the tiles, a rule sheet, and a special thank‑you. The core mechanics remain the same as the base game—area control and influence with simultaneous action selection—yet now there are more strategic options and the chance to speed up your victory. If you’re familiar with *Historia: Golden Era*’s dynamics and enjoy exploring ways to quicken progress, this expansion can be a fun add‑on, but remember it isn’t available in physical stores and requires owning the base game. The extra cost of the campaign and the need for the original game may be caveats, but for collectors with the full set it adds a new layer of tactics and enjoyment.

6 questions

14 acceleration tiles, a rule sheet, and a separate delivery bag.
Who is this recommended for?
