About the game
Hey folks! We've got another piece to boost your Peloponnes game: the Antioche tile, which originally came as a freebie with Plato Worldwide magazine. This little guy is tile number 11 and gives you a starting boost with 9 money and 3 population. But its main superpower is complete protection against ALL disasters! That's right, no more suffering from the plagues and catastrophes the game throws at you. In exchange for all this pampering, you only lose 1 population per turn, which, let's face it, is a pretty fair price to be immune to everything. This little expansion adds an interesting strategic layer, especially if you like the idea of having a shield against bad luck. The auction mechanic remains strong, as does tile placement, which are the heart of Peloponnes. If you're already a fan of the base game and like to mix things up, Antioche is a worthwhile addition, bringing a touch of unique player power and powerful defense to your empire. It was later included in the Sacrum expansion, so if you have that, you might already have it!
