About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a veteran explorer of the El Dorado jungles, grab your adventure hat because the Quest for El Dorado: Expansion Collection is here to transform your journey! You know that feeling of wanting something fresh without having to buy five different boxes and take up half your shelf? Well, this collection solves exactly that problem. It is the 'ultimate bundle' that gathers everything released for the base game so far.

What's inside this treasure trove? Basically, you are bringing the Heroes & Hexes, Dangers & Muisca, and Dragons, Treasures & Mysteries expansions to your table. Furthermore, the collection hasn't forgotten the promotional cards that can often be hard to track down, including the 'Binoculars', 'Telegram', and 'Letter of Recommendation' packs. It's like giving your game engine a complete upgrade, adding layers of strategy, new dangers, and challenges that make every expedition unique.

In practice, what changes? Well, the core of the game—that exciting race using cards and resource bags—remains intact, but now the path can be much more unpredictable. With the addition of new hexes and gameplay elements, the modular board gets a whole new lease on life. You'll have to manage your hands more effectively and decide whether it's worth risking new markets or focusing on building a more solid deck to overcome new obstacles. It is the perfect solution for those who want to keep the classic essence of the game while adding that touch of novelty that prevents the experience from feeling repetitive. If you own the base game and want the full exploration experience, this collection is your next mandatory destination!
