Shakespeare: Backstage

Get ready for the theatrical backstage with Shakespeare: Backstage, the first expansion for the base game Shakespeare! This addition brings a host of new elements to boost your plays and impress the audience. You can now access extra resources like the Lord Chamberlain to recruit more stunning actors, a prompter for those performers who forget their lines (it happens in the best companies!), a milliner to add a special flair to costumes, and even an architect to spruce up your theater. New backstage cards allow you to use your unwagered cylinders in an innovative way: place them on the cards and spend them to activate special abilities. Want to place fewer rest tokens on your actors? Or enhance an actor with an extra hat? Perhaps increase your theater's 'ambiance'? All this and more is possible with this expansion. New actors, objectives, and costumes also enter the scene, ensuring your theater season is a resounding success when the curtains rise. If you enjoyed the main game and crave more depth and strategic options, this expansion is the way to shine even brighter on stage!
