About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready to give your Patrician game a serious boost? This expansion, 'Decree Cards', introduces a fresh dose of strategy and twists to the base game, brought to you by the brilliant mind of Michael Schacht. The concept is simple yet ingenious: each decree card presents a completely new and unique scoring rule. During setup, one of these cards is revealed, dictating a new objective or bonus for all players. Just imagine: suddenly, the way you place your towers could be worth a fortune, or those leftover portraits might transform into precious points. Even the value of your prestige tokens can change! These 8 cards were initially exclusive to backers of the 'Patrician: Towers of Influence' Kickstarter, but are now available to supercharge everyone's game nights.
If you're a fan of Patrician and crave more variety and challenges for your game sessions, this expansion is a must-have. It doesn't alter the core gameplay but adds a layer of replayability that will make you reconsider every move. It's the kind of addition that keeps us coming back to the table, eager to discover which decree will shake things up next! Ideal for those who have already mastered the basic rules and are seeking new avenues to victory, injecting that thrilling 'will it pay off?' excitement into every play.
