## Description
Get ready to level up your Lords of Hellas experience with the Lord of the Sun expansion! This beauty introduces the Apollo monument to the game, and it doesn't come alone: it has 5 parts to assemble and brings a host of new and very interesting powers. With it, you can recruit Muses, peek at upcoming events, boost your special actions (just for you!), and even use the monsters on the board to your advantage. Speaking of Muses, they are the big game-changer here! When you recruit a Muse in a region you control, she becomes your loyal ally. They act like heroes, immune to attacks from enemy armies, and each of the 9 available Muse cards grants unique abilities. Some heal wounds, others boost your stats, or help you gather hero tokens. And the best part: they grant you glory tokens! Won a battle in a region with your Muse? Get glory! This expansion injects an extra dose of strategy and new possibilities, maintaining the essence of the base game but with that extra flavor we love. If you're already a fan of Lords of Hellas, this expansion is a must-have for those seeking more depth and new ways to dominate Ancient Greece with a touch of sci-fi and mythology.
