About the game
Get ready to expand your trading horizons with Riga: Lubeca! This expansion takes you to the historic Lubeca, the medieval name for Lübeck, where the focus is on trading salt and fur from Novgorod. Your mission? To build a market hall and taverns in a new color, adding a white touch to your city. The expansion introduces 12 new white buildings and 10 brand-new commodity cards: 4 fur cards, worth 6 ducats each, and 6 salt cards, which have the superpower to double the value of another card in your hand. To add an extra spice to the game, new 'Brunnen' (well) cards are added to the Riga deck, ensuring a refreshed experience. And for those who were unlucky with the first editions, the expansion includes replacement cards for the misprinted market halls in red, green, and yellow. Oh, and great news: with these additional cards, you can now play with up to 5 people! Riga: Lubeca injects new strategies and possibilities, maintaining the agile and engaging gameplay you already know.
