About the game
Hey everyone! If you're already into the hustle and bustle of building and scheming in Peloponnes, get ready, because this expansion brings some cool new stuff to the table. First off, it bumps up the player count to six, meaning more rivals vying for resources and planning their cities. Just imagine how wild the board gets with an extra competitor! On top of that, the expansion introduces new buildings, opening up a wider range of strategies for you to develop your civilization. Each new structure can alter how you approach optimizing your actions and racking up points. And there's more: the "Sea Expansion" arrives to add that extra tactical flair. Now you can explore sea routes, which introduces a layer of complexity and new gameplay options, especially for those who enjoy thinking more deeply about each move. If you're looking for more options, more players, and an even bigger challenge, this expansion is a real treat. It not only expands the number of participants but also the strategic depth of the base game, while keeping the core essence that made Peloponnes so great. It's the kind of addition that makes you want to get back to the table and try everything again, with the whole crew gathered. Get your bids and constructions ready, because Ancient Greece just got even more competitive!
