About the game
Get ready to meet the Amazons, the newest expansion for the acclaimed Imperial Settlers! If you enjoy tinkering with your deck and creating explosive combos, you'll love this faction. The Amazons bring a fresh approach to card building: many of their cards offer bonuses when built and cost very little to play. The clever twist is that when you use a foundation card to build another, it returns to your deck instead of being discarded – this changes everything! With this mechanic, you can refine your deck during the game, focusing on the cards that truly earn you points. Furthermore, you gain the ability to discard cards from your hand, giving you incredible control over what comes next. It's the perfect opportunity to plan your moves and maximize your score. Created by Joanna Kijanka, based on the original idea by Ignacy Trzewiczek, and featuring stunning art by Roman Kucharski and Anastasia Meylus, the Amazons are the third major expansion, showcasing a formerly warlike tribe now focused on building a new empire. If you're a fan of Imperial Settlers and enjoy dynamic strategies and deck customization, the Amazons will win you over!
