About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, gamers! If you're already a fan of Mare Nostrum: Empires, get ready, because this Kickstarter Exclusives expansion adds an extra kick to your collection! It includes two punch boards packed with components that introduce more options and legendary heroes to your ancient Mediterranean saga. Imagine Ariadne, the Minotaur, and even Theseus (if you snagged the right edition!) joining the fray, each with their unique abilities to turn the tide of the game. Plus, there are new tokens to spice up the Provinces at War and to invoke peace (or not!) with the Statue of Zeus. For those who love strategy and seeing the game change with every playthrough, these variable player powers are a real treat. The gameplay remains focused on area control, trading with neighbors (watch out for betrayals!), and rolling dice to see who comes out on top. This expansion is perfect for anyone wanting more variety and exclusive content, especially if you enjoy the ancient civilizations theme with a touch of mythology and a lot of power struggles. It's the kind of thing that makes your game shine on the shelf and on the table, bringing more depth and replayability to fans of the base game. It's not an expansion that radically changes the rules, but it adds that special charm and those components that make collectors and dedicated fans sigh with delight. If you own the base game and want to level it up, this is the way to go!

Do I need the base game Mare Nostrum: Empires to play with this expansion? expand_more
Absolutely! This is an expansion, so all the additional components and rules here only work if you have the base game Mare Nostrum: Empires.
What are the main components this expansion adds? expand_more
It mainly brings two punch boards with extra components, including new Heroes for the Labyrinth mechanic, tokens for Provinces at War, the Statue of Zeus, and the Odysseus character. Some Kickstarter editions also include the hero Theseus.
Does this expansion significantly change the base game's rules? expand_more
Not drastically. It focuses on adding more variety through new characters (Heroes) with unique powers and some tokens that enrich strategic options, but the main structure of the game remains the same.
Is this expansion focused on combat or economy? expand_more
Mare Nostrum: Empires already mixes elements of area control, trading, and development. This expansion adds more options for these areas, with heroes that can favor military or economic strategies, depending on how you use them.
Who is this expansion recommended for? expand_more
It's highly recommended for those who already love Mare Nostrum: Empires and want more content, variety, and exclusive components. If you enjoy collecting special editions or want to 'level up' your games, this is a great choice.
Is this expansion easy to find nowadays? expand_more
As it's a Kickstarter exclusive edition, it might be a bit harder to find in regular stores. Usually, it's easier to find on the second-hand market or through player trades.
How much playtime does this expansion add? expand_more
It doesn't add significant playtime on its own, but the greater variety of strategies and powers might lead to slightly longer games, depending on how players adapt to the new options.
