About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fans! If you're already into Mare Nostrum: Empires and want to spice up your collection, check out this promo! The Theseus Promo Card is one of those extras that arrive to add a special flavor to your game. Distributed at events and in specialized magazines back in 2016, it brings a new ability to the Theseus character, which is already one of your variable powers.
With this card in hand, Theseus grants you an additional legendary good for each capital city you control. Just imagine: more resources, more power, a better chance to dominate the Mediterranean! It's a small addition in terms of components, but it can make a huge difference in your strategy, especially if you enjoy playing with asymmetric powers and want to explore all the nuances of the base game.
This promo is part of a trio of cards inspired by Greek mythology, completing the set with Ariadne and the Minotaur. If you're someone who can't resist having everything related to the game, or if you simply want to add a new strategic element to spice up your Mare Nostrum sessions, this card is for you. It's a cool way to give new life to those who have already mastered the base game and are looking for new ways to play and win. Remember, it's an expansion, so the base game Mare Nostrum: Empires is essential to use this card. Get ready for more epic battles and negotiations!
