With just six new cards, each depicting a location that can change the flow of your river, the expansion keeps the base game's simplicity while offering new building possibilities. When you create a protected valley, instead of shuffling cards, one of the expansion cards is added to the selection row, functioning exactly like a normal card. This means each play loop can reveal a different scenario, encouraging experimentation and replayability. The card design stays true to the original artistic style, with detailed illustrations that capture the spirit of exploration and discovery. The valley-building mechanic remains the same: you pick cards from the selection row, place them on the board, and aim to create valleys that maximize your resource flow. The expansion does not alter the core rules, just adds new location options that can shift strategy. As a result, 15‑minute sessions stay quick, but now you have more combination choices and more reasons to return to the game. If you already own the base game and want a quick solo play, Wildscapes is a lightweight addition that offers a creative boost. ## FAQ ### How long does a game with the expansion take?
