About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, fellow gamers! Ready to give your Empire a little boost? Imperial Settlers: Marketplace is one of those expansions that quietly arrives and quickly becomes a key piece on the table. It introduces four new tiles that bring fresh air to the base game, adding more options and actions for you to explore. Think of it like a new shop in your city, where you can go and discover something different to do, something that will give your empire a boost. That's pretty much it! One of these tiles is the Marketplace, a place where your faction can browse and find a brand-new action, ready to be used. This expansion is ideal for those who already enjoy the Imperial Settlers universe and want more variety in their games. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it adds those extra layers that make the game even richer and more strategic. If you like having more paths to follow, more decisions to make, and a bit more interaction (perhaps a strategic 'take that'?), this expansion might be the spice you've been missing. It integrates seamlessly with the base game, bringing the same component quality and the gameplay we already know and love. Get ready for new strategies and an extra touch of fun!
