## Description
If you are already a seasoned curator in Museum, The World's Fair expansion is the upgrade you need to make your gallery even more competitive. Forget the routine of just organizing your pieces; here, the game gains an extra layer of interaction and objectives that will force you to look at your neighbor's museum with new eyes. The highlight is the 'Pavilion' mechanism, which introduces shared objectives. This means you are no longer alone in your race for glory; now, everyone competes for common milestones, adding spice to the decision of which item to prioritize. Additionally, we have 'Loans,' a very interesting mechanic where you can lend an item to an opponent's collection. Does it seem strange to help a rival? Not at all! Both benefit from this trade, creating a unique dynamic that is only unavailable in two-player games. The box is packed with new content: three tower boards that add a special charm to the table, plus fresh event, character, and personnel cards to refresh your strategies. It is the perfect expansion for those who want more depth without losing the strategic essence that made the base game a hit. Get ready to manage your resources more carefully and take advantage of the forced cooperation opportunities that the World's Fair offers. If you feel your museum has seen it all, this expansion is an invitation for a new season of memorable exhibitions. It is time to show who the best curator in town really is!
