About the game
Hey everyone! If you're a fan of Riga and think the game would be even more epic with more people at the table, this expansion is for you! It simply opens the door for games with up to six players, keeping all the vibe of the original game. To make this magic happen, the box comes packed with 55 new cards: 22 of them are goods cards to add extra spice to your trading, 24 are building cards that will change the board, and 8 are Riga-specific building cards that bring a special flavor of the city to your strategy. With this expansion, the game gains a new dynamic, more interaction, and the chance to forge even more intense alliances or rivalries. Get ready to see the board heat up with more players vying for every resource and every point. It's the perfect choice for those who want to extend the fun and test their negotiation and planning skills in a more crowded scenario. Six players mean more chaos, more laughs, and, of course, more Riga for everyone!
