If you're a fan of the original Newton and looking to spice up your games, New Horizon is the way to go! This expansion swaps out the base game's Evolution board for a brand-new one, packed with opportunities to boost your scores. You know those triangular spaces? If you place a student there, every time you perform the indicated action, you gain 1 Victory Point (VP), whether it's from the basic action, a card effect, or even an invention! And the best part: the bonus is a flat 1 VP, even if you have multiple students on the same spot or the action itself is worth more. For those who like long-term planning, there are two Objective spaces that grant double VP at the end of the game if you have a student there and meet the 5 Volumes requirement. This even means the Volume limitation is doubled, so plan your strategy carefully! The game retains the mechanics we already love, like hand management and deck/bag building, but adds this extra layer of optimization and scoring. It's an expansion that rewards planning and attention to detail, perfect for those who want more depth without overcomplicating the rules. If you're looking for a fresh way to score and explore the Newton universe, this expansion opens up a horizon of possibilities! ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game Newton to play this expansion?
