About the game
What you do in a play session
In this expansion, the base game gains extra layers of depth. The biggest highlight is the introduction of shipping lanes, which allow you to transport resources far more efficiently than by land, opening the way to Tasmania. Over there, you'll find an eccentric scientist who managed to replicate Elsa's technology, resulting in an experimental power plant in Hobart that promises to shift the game's dynamics.
Beyond the brand-new map, Nucleum: Australia introduces significant rule changes and fresh concepts. You can now build your own coal mines and, for those who love to tighten the belt and crank up the difficulty, there's an expert variant that adds bidding for the Experiments. It's the perfect choice for players who enjoy expanding industrial networks, optimizing maritime logistics, and dominating the energy economy of an entire continent. If you're into heavy games with complex management and the feeling of building an empire from the ground up, this expansion is the upgrade your table needs.
