About the game
What you do in a play session
If you already enjoy the vibe of assembling colorful stained glass in Sagrada, get ready to level up your game. 'The Great Facades – Passion' is the first volume of a trilogy inspired by the facades of Gaudí's iconic basilica. The goal here isn't to overhaul the game entirely, but rather to add layers of depth for those who want a richer and more challenging experience. The best part is that the expansion is modular: you don't have to use everything at once. You can introduce the new elements gradually as your group gets comfortable.
In this 'Passion' part, we get Inspiration Cards, which bring that extra strategic spice to your turns. Additionally, 'rare glass' dice and cards enter the scene, adding a touch of exclusivity and new scoring possibilities. For those who love organizing everything perfectly, the new symmetry public objectives will require you to plan your board with much more care, as aesthetics now count toward points in a more rigorous way. It's essentially about turning your construction into an even more complex work of art, balancing the luck of the dice with precise planning. If you feel the base game has become too simple or just want more variety in your sessions, this module is the perfect way to upgrade your tabletop experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need all parts of the expansion to play?
Nope! The expansion is modular. You can use just the inspiration cards, only the symmetry objectives, or everything together.
Does the game become much harder?
It increases strategic complexity, but since it's modular, you control the difficulty by adding one module at a time.
Does it work with solo mode?
Yes, the new mechanics and objectives can be perfectly integrated into solo games.
How much extra time does it add to the game?
The impact is minimal, but expect that analyzing the new objectives might add a few minutes to the total time.
