## Description
Peloponnes: Hellas Expansion adds a new round (D) to the base game, extending the duration and deepening strategic options. It introduces three new landscapes, three buildings, three new civilizations, and two sea tiles, giving players more placement choices and opportunities to block or gain bonuses. Auction mechanics remain central, letting players vie for control of territories and resources, while tile placement keeps the tension of deciding where to place each new tile. Variable player powers are expanded with the three new civilizations, each offering unique abilities that can swing the tide for the savvy player. For fans of the original Peloponnes who enjoy the blend of auction strategy and city building, Hellas offers an extra layer of challenge without changing the game’s core feel. The game time increases – now with an extra round – but the variety of choices keeps the pace lively. The expansion is ideal for groups who love tactical decision-making and the thrill of competing for limited resources. If you want to make the Greek theme even more immersive and test new expansion strategies, Hellas is a solid, fun pick.
