About the game
What you do in a play session
This expansion isn't just about aesthetics; it shakes up the base game's dynamics. The highlight is the new collection of bonus tiles, which bring much more variety and ensure that no two games feel the same. But the real icing on the cake is the strategy tiles. These grant each player a unique power, fundamentally changing how you plan your moves. And if you feel your current power isn't working? There's a way out: if you manage to place one of your keys on the Arc de Triomphe, you can swap your ability and adapt your strategy on the fly.
If you already enjoy the area control and economic management of the original game, l'Étoile adds that layer of depth that transforms the experience. It's your chance to use your veteran experience to block the foreign newcomers and reaffirm who really runs the City of Light. Get your keys ready, plan your investments, and prepare for the battle for the center of the world.
