About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey gamers! If you're a fan of Peloponnes and looking to spice up your civilization, check out this gem: Peloponnes: Sikyon! This little beauty is a promotional tile (number 14, for the collectors out there) that adds a special twist to your game. Sikyon comes ready to play with 9 coins, 9 food, and 3 inhabitants to get your civilization rolling. Its coolest feature is its protection against the 'Tempest' card, so if the weather turns nasty, you're a bit safer. But heads up: during the income phase, Sikyon grants you 1 food, which is nice, but it also consumes 1 wood and 1 stone. It's all about balance! This mini-expansion might also be bundled with 'Peloponnes: Heroes and Colonies', so if you own that pack, see if Sikyon is included. It's a small addition that can make a nice difference in your strategy, adding an extra layer of management and protection. Perfect for those who want to optimize every detail of their empire and aren't afraid of a few extra rules. Let's build the greatest civilization in Ancient Greece!
