Get ready to expand your empire with the arrival of 'Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North – Barbarian Hordes'! This expansion brings an extra dose of challenge and strategy, introducing two brand-new barbarian clans, each with their unique card deck and a very distinct playstyle. If you already enjoy the core mechanics of 'Empires of the North', you'll love the new dynamics these guys bring to the table. One of the clans consists of audacious pirates, masters of the seas, who sail on their robust rafts and thrive on raiding and exploring maritime routes. They are experts at accumulating wealth and surprising opponents with unexpected attacks. The other clan is made up of notorious robbers, who don't hesitate to sabotage others' plans and demand ransoms, adding a layer of more aggressive and direct interaction to the game. With them, negotiation and intimidation can be as important as building your own empire. 'Barbarian Hordes' isn't just another card pack; it's an injection of personality and new strategic possibilities, which will force you to rethink your tactics and adapt to these new and unpredictable neighbors. Prepare for naval duels, raids, and plenty of diplomacy (or the lack thereof!) as you try to lead your clan to glory.
