If you were already captivated by the strategic depth of Wayfarers of the South Tigris, get ready to expand your reach! The Tides of Trade expansion has officially arrived, pushing the boundaries of the Mesopotamian setting. Commerce is no longer confined to familiar lands; players are now tasked with venturing into uncharted territories, documenting new regions, and establishing vital trading posts to grow their commercial empires across the map.

What truly sets this expansion apart is the added layer of complexity and the evolution of technology within the game. As progress marches forward, you'll need to manage technological advancements carefully to ensure your faction doesn't fall behind in the race for dominance. The introduction of overseers brings powerful new actions to the table, while the worker upgrade system allows for much deeper specialization. It’s a significant step up in weight, offering fresh area control dynamics and a much more varied deck-building experience.

For veteran players looking for more tactical meat on the bones, Tides of Trade is a highly recommended addition. It increases the strategic density of every turn, demanding careful planning and efficient resource management. Please keep in mind that the base game is required to play this expansion.
