The 'Die Vitalienbrüder' expansion for Riga introduces nine pirate ships to stir up the Baltic Sea! With them, building certain structures becomes more expensive as you'll have to pay extra to acquire them. But don't worry, the reward comes at the end: each pirate ship you defeat earns you extra victory points. Be careful, though, as these privateers not only make constructions pricier but can also eliminate important figures (like knights and merchants) from your cards. This expansion supercharges the base game, allowing up to six players and adding an extra layer of strategy and interaction. If you enjoy Riga and want more conflict and scoring opportunities, this one's for you! Get ready to deal with commodity speculation, manage your hand of cards cunningly, and, of course, send those pirates to the bottom of the sea!
